Are these 2 the only 777Ws in storage now ?
SWJ, SWK, and SWL are stored at ASP. SWL has already crossed 1 year at ASP, while SWK has been there for 9 months (since Sep 2021) after flying revenue flights and SWL has been stored for probably over a year., SWJ was just reactivated at SIN back in March, but has flown to ASP for storage, just not on any revenue flights. These planes still had the current 4-class configuration. I believe some are leased too, but not sure why it involves flying it to ASP and parking it there.
SWY has not flown since December 2020, and not sure if that will return to service. I remember that it did some cargo flights like to Kathmandu, but anyone know if that is a preighter like SWM and SWN? That's not stored in ASP either as far as I know.

SWM and SWN from my memory during the pandemic got converted to a preighter as the poster mentioned below and was only rostered on cargo flights. They are still not flying anywhere as of now, and they're not stored at ASP.

9V-SWD has left the fleet. How about 9V-SWE? Any details of her? Thank you.

Where are you getting this info? Sometimes when the planes leave the fleet (i.e. 772 or A333), there are pics that the plane could be in all white or if not, have all titles removed before it leaves the fleet.
What about SWF?

Originally posted by a340-313x View PostSWL appears to be returning from ASP and will arrive in SIN on Tuesday evening as SQ8894.
SWL returning is a good sign more F routes are just needed since we are in post-pandemic recovery mode. SWK and SWJ would likely also follow suit at some point. SWK has been parked for over a year.
SWM, SWN and SWY are the only inactive planes in SIN that are yet to return to service if we are not including SWD, SWE, SWF.

SWL is flying after a couple of weeks in SIN. Hopefully the other few frames like SWJ and SWK can return, too from ASP.
Still looks like no other news on the current idle frames in SIN (SWM, SWN, SWY). They don’t appear to be leased which means at some point or another they’re expected to return back to service.
