SQ866/865 utilizes 77Ws in between the european/US departures at night and their morning arrivals. so quite often when a few 77Ws are down/delayed, the route sees 773s substituted. i once even had an A380 SKT pick me on SQ865 in place of a 77W.

anyone seen 9V-SRM around btw? been out of service for 3 weeks... seems a bit soon from my memory since the last major servicing?

9V-SVI performed an air test this morning.
I think SVG & SVI are in the process of leaving.
This will reduce the in-use fleet to six: SVB, SVC, SVE, SVJ, SVM, SVN. That should be quite adequate to cover the flights currently assigned to them and still allow some opportunities for backup work.

Originally posted by SQ957 View PostSQ would need these 773s, although aging, for their high-premium-demand CGK flights. The 77W would not quite cut it for them - it is generally fuel-inefficient for shorter flights, while the A380 might be too large for CGK, and will result in longer turnaround times, et cetera. This is why SQ is stretching the life of these 773s beyond what is usual for SQ’s old aircraft.

Originally posted by Short Final View PostHaa, yes. I remember saying a “thank goodness” when Quebec Foxtrot was finally retired. Spent many hours on that bird. I can’t wait either, but I am told it’s likely gonna be a long wait as the 787s will replace A330s on other routes first, and the regional A350’s are still some time away too.
From the start of this Winter timetable we’ll have another daily A350 flight on SQ962/963 (up from the current 2x weekly), so more new aircraft flying to CGK.
