Originally posted by flyguy View PostLooks like both SRQ and SRP have found a new home or being leased out. SIA actually do not fly their stored planes back to SIN for maintenance or heavy checks unless they are restored to flying as otherwise they just be sitting in the desert and there's no point in any heavy checks before being stored.

SIA have announced that it will also retire 4 77Ws although no specific aircraft registration have been given. These planes have recently have a cabin refit with 4 first class seating and improved faster wifi. The 4 planes are likely the older ones which are approaching 15 years of age.

SWB was delivered in 2006 and is 14.5 years and should have been fully depreciated.
However its likely that it was on ground for sometime for extensive repairs that it still have quite a bit of useful hours before the next major overhaul which is probably why its not retired yet. Some of remaining 77Ws will be flying until 2024 when the new 779s arrives, and SWB would be retired then.
