Originally posted by SQ957 View PostYes they are used on SIN-US... but only one daily to SFO and one daily to LAX. Again, the A350 has taken over the 77W on some US routes, such as SIN-MAN-IAH, SIN-ICN-SFO (which was replaced by the SIN-SFO nonstop) and then SIN-ICN-LAX (which was again replaced by the SIN-LAX nonstop). My point is that the 77Ws have been aggressively replaced on many long haul routes, slowly going the way of the 77E. With that said, I agree with you that the 77W is still two or three years away from retirement.

no point speculating about the 77Ws.
SQ is pretty clear on this one... the 779s will be their replacements.
So it wont be until 2021 that any of them leaves. in any case, they've all gone through an expensive refurbishment, with SWJ being the first in mid-2015 and SWT the last just earlier this year.
there's really no comparison between the 77W and 359...they both complement each other in capacity (less the F seats), product and range. if fuel consumption really was an issue, then obviously the SIN-HKG-SFO & SIN-NRT-LAX routes would have been priority for 359s.

The end for B777 Classic (B772/773) is getting closer. From peak of 58 (46 B772 and 12 773), now we are left with 12 only. Since the introduction of first airframe B777-212 9V-SQA on 5 May 1997, they have safely haul millions of passengers to their destination, opening up many new destinations for SQ. There was a period when B772 was the smallest aircraft in SQ fleet. Take a bow, 777 Classic. Your legend lives on with B77W and soon-to-come B77X.Last edited by jul247; 26 November 2019, 09:45 AM.

Addtionally, SQ802 today was operated by 9V-SYI (B773) instead of the usual A380.

So imagine if you book suite n then downgrade to normal first class. Then on day of travel, tell you plane have no first class. Pls wait another 4 hours for SQ866. Not many paxes would like it.

My point was simply that if you are managing aircraft assignment and there aren't enough of the intended plane to go around, you have to pick where to cause the least damage when you reallocate aircraft.
