SQ B747-400 withdrawal thread

[SilverChris]

I think we'll see some more withdrawn from service soon after SIN-NRT-LAX gets upgauged to WhaleJet service.

Oh dear, this leaves JFK/FRA as the only 744 route left right?

In addition, one turn SIN-MEL stays 744 until 1 July.

SQ 221 / SQ 212 to be operated by 747 for 9 days starting 02 Apr 2011.

At least some hope for a few Business & First Class Savers.

What's the reason for this? Whalejet problems?

They probably can't get the two A380s they need to run the new SQ12/11 rotations on time so have sequestered one A380 from the SYD run for a couple of weeks while (hopefully) the new A380s are delivered.

There are some F Savers available, I have just had a quick look, well there are from SIN-SYD, not much available for SYD-SIN on the 744, however could mix it up with a J seat I guess.

This is El Al 3rd ex-SQ B744, first being 4X-ELE (ex 9V-SPB) and secondly 4X-ELF (ex 9V-SFA)

Keeping the thread alive.

Do we know where SMU has ended up?

Do we know where SMU has ended up?

As of today she is still sitting on Changi apron in all white. Visible from Terminal 1's viewing mall.

[SilverChris]

I'm a bit confused, with SMU leaving that means there are 6 left?

Seven:

9V-SPE, -SPJ, -SPM, - SPN, -SPO, -SPP, and -SPQ.

[Tom/PER]

9V-SMU was rumoured to be heading to Air Tahiti Nui but this seems to of gone quiet although several sites still show it listed to them.

Ex SQ B744's sure do seem to be popular in the second-hand market.
