SVM needs to go. It’s such a terrible experience for passengers to get it compared with any of their other 777s.

With the delay of B77X up to a year, SQ may have to extend the lease for their B77W. B77X first flight is remains undetermined at the moment. God forbids the test flight goes smoothly and EIS is smooth too. Boeing cannot afford to take another hit after 737max and 787 debacle.

I don't think they have anything to worry about for the 777X. The only thing it's going to do is strengthen the business case for finishing up the A380 refits, since the 777X is supposed to largely be an A380 replacement.
For the 77W replacement I'd presume Airbus would be wanting to sell them some A350-1000s, preferably with the main configuration letting them do SQ21/22 comfortably.an infrastructure geek

Just as SQI & SRN were first for the regional 772 refits back then in 2010

Originally posted by FSJZ View PostAs far as I can remember, SQ is the owner of all 27 77Ws, there are no leased birds.
I suspect the 3 aircraft are 3 that were delivered that year (SWY, SWZ, SNA), but one can't be sure. It could even be 3 older ones from the original batch of 77Ws.
Separately, SQ did 4 sale and leasebacks from its A380 fleet a few years before that - 1 v1 and 3 v2s.
All other aircraft - except the entire A330 fleet of course - is owned. You can get the details from the annual report - page 212, in the case of the most recent one.Last edited by 259850; 24 January 2020, 12:29 PM.

Originally posted by 259850 View PostIn fiscal year ending March 2015, SQ entered into sale and leaseback transactions on 3 77Ws. These are transactions where you sell aircraft in your fleet to a lessor and lease them back simultaneously. The benefit is that SQ gets upfront cash inflow (to be offset by future lease payments throughout the lease period). SQ also gets to recognize an accounting profit if the sale price is higher than the value recorded in its accounts (which may or may not be the actual price paid for the aircraft).

CGK will see 3 flights operated by B772ER today (SQ966/967 and SQ968) and 1 flight tomorrow (SQ951). SQ966/967 is operated by 9V-SVB today due to changes in aircraft assignment on top of the scheduled SQ968/951 which will be operated by 9V-SVM.

SVE, SVC & SYF are listed for sale.
These three 777s are probably the ones with flying value. (SVB & SVM headed for scrap perhaps)
So if they need to remove capacity, I’d Guess SVE & SVC will be first
SRM & SQM have probably also been retired. Not sure where they’re going though, as for SQL also - still sitting around at Changi.

And SVB, SVC, and SVM = 3 in that subfleet: also as previously noted in the last financial statement. That assumes SVE is wfu pending attempted sale.Last edited by Bitterroot; 1 February 2020, 12:03 PM.
