Originally posted by sbs2716g View PostBased on the latest financial results slide, SQ have predicted that they will operate 119 aircraft by 31/3/2019. Previous update in May 2018 indicate that there will be 117 aircraft by 31/3/19. So 2 more 777 will stay? From 1/10/18 to 31/3/19, only 2 A330 n one 777-200ER will leave the fleet.
SQL last flow on 10/10. So guess it is just undergoing maintainance?

Originally posted by flyguy View Postlikely a military charter, as usually test flights, SIA do not fly so far to UTP and would be around Southern Singapore or over the South China Sea and fairly often if it touch and go, its usually in JHB. However on odd occassions, they do fly to KUL.

Originally posted by flyguy View PostSVC and SVE both are now over 17 years old and still is flying service.
SQ refitted SVB, SVC and SVE with the 2006 Y product with 2013 seat covers, while SVJ, SVM, SVN are still flying with the old Refurb Y product. This suggests that SQ is planning to keep the older frames longer.

Imagine flying on a 20 year old SIA plane in a couple of years. Must be the first time SQ uses its planes for so long, although its likely that these old planes will fly more regional routes but it will be more costly as it uses more fuel and the plane is heavy for regional flights.

I’d really like to fly those mid-haul flights on the old 772s again, such as to japan. They’re still a lot more comfortable, seat width and leg space wise. I know the IFE is crap but there’s nothing like having that kind of space. The A350s and 78Js just don’t provide the same level of spaciousness.
