and so that suggests that the other 773s are on their way out too. point being that if there was any intention to keep any, they'd perform the maintenance on SYI and instead retire SYF... which is 3 years older with old seats and likely a lot more cycles on it.
removal of titles but with base livery usually = scrap.
paint all white = going to buyer

I guess only SQ would really know...?

Pretty sure the 3 year difference in age will still mean more cycles. 773s have been used quite evenly for a consistent range of destinations.
Btw not sure If this has been talked about - SQ appears to have stored ALL 77Ws. None in use. Looks like they’re really choosing to work their newer aircraft hard. Any one understands why? 77W also quite decent on cargo space.
Without 777s in the air (save for a lone SYJ), won’t that group of flight crew be rendered useless for the time being? I’m not sure if 777 Pilots are certified for 787s too?

Only SWR has made a single flight to PEK Last night.. The remaining 26 have not been in the air for awhile.
Of course fuel efficiency of the A350s and 78X matters. But surely that can’t be the sole deciding factor?
As it stands SQ is parking their entire 777 (less SYJ and SWR), A380 and A330 fleet (and also SilkAir 737s and 320s). That’s quite a statement, operationally.

As of June, there were 11 77Ws that were kept flyable although they do not fly on a daily basis. The only aircraft that SIA does not fly is the A380s since the lock down and expected it wont be flying till the end of the year or even till early next year.
Scoot have started operating a very limited flights from 3rd Jul using its A320s to cities like Kuching, Penang, Ipoh, Surabaya etc and been using its 787s to HKG, Perth, Taipei etc

Originally posted by ell3 View PostI think you have been missing my point man.. I’m saying that all the 77Ws are defacto “in storage”. Parked away for now. None of them have flown since June (except SWR on only one rotation). A330s have been grounded since April.
There you have it. Was actually published in June, missed it somehow.
Confirms 77Ws will be parked as well.
Are the 777 Pilots crosses trained on 787s/A350s?
