Thanks for the info.
SQ is supposed to be left with only 1x SV and 1x SQ by the end of this FY, which should be 31 March. Given the current situation surely they’ll be keeping to that? Which means 2 more SVs to be withdrawn in the next two weeks.
Can’t believe they’re keeping SQN just for that daily HKT

Other airlines like KLM will retire their 747 pax/combi fleet end of this month, cutting short their life by a year, VS took out A346 fleet, BA/QF/LH/KE are now parking B744/B748/A380, AA offloading older 767/757 earlier and DL is parking 300 airframes.

As has already been suggested by others previously...
If I were the airline, I’d use these frames to the max possible (perhaps until they’re due their next major check) to squeeze out whatever life they have left in them before flying them to the desert. After all, they have already been fully depreciated.
In simple English - it likely doesn’t cost them anything to utilise the 77Es / as opposed to using a 77W/350/etc. (Save for the fixed operating cost per flight).
