4 A330-300s
2 777-200 (9V-SRJ, 9V-SRL)
1 777-200ER (9V-SVH)
1 777-300 (9V-SYK)
Not official, based on my guesses. 4 A330-300s, 9V-SVH and 9V-SYK to be returned to their lessors. 9V-SRJ and 9V-SRL to be retired (remaining 2 unrefitted 777-200s), which leaves us with 2 remaining purple cabins (9V-SVF and 9V-SVO).

It appears to be at first because of the new seat covers but then you discover the seatback may have a larger screen than before but doesn't have any of the other innovations like coathook, remote, USB port etc... The seat is still the same seat- the remote is still housed in the armrest and is still the old grey colour. The tray table doesn't fold in half and from memory there is no separate cup-holder.
The SV* series used to have recesses in the upper seatback where you could hang your headphones or glasses as you sleep- they all went for a sold plastic panel containing a "larger" screen, but TBH it really doesn't seem that much larger. Apart from that change and new seat fabric which is IMO far less comfortable, that's the extent of the refit. Bring on the A350 with 2013 product for when I fly to CPH!

Sorry to crash the party but what's the update with the Scoot B777's.
-OTA has already left the fleet and is stored in the US, but are -OTB and -OTE still parked somewhere at Changi? Not seen any reports of these 2 flying recently.
TZ are down to just 2 active B777's being -OTC and -OTD now.
