SQ hotline told me it isn’t a mistake so I’ll just enjoy it. Weird though. They can’t just be giving free gold status?
I was a KFEG for 5 consecutive years until 2018, so maybe it’s just a belated reward “we miss you!”
Hahaha.

Departure of 772 regionals is progressing. SRP is now long out of the fleet and SRQ hasn't flown for 4 weeks and is due to NokScoot.
The other 5 are still in the air although SRO has been out of action for a couple of days. SRO & SQL are now the two to watch as they have the old Y seats and IFE. All 5 of the SV-series are still flying. If SRO were to depart, the number of 772s will finally reduce to a single digit figure.

thats a sudden and quick exit for the 772s... i thought the regional ones would stay a little longer to fill in the gaps, really. especially since they refurbed SRM, SQM, SQN & SQK recently.
previously there were
30+ x A333s
8 x 772 regionals
the equivalent of 3 x 772ERs doing regional flights
means 40+ odd regional aircraft.
however, we now only have 8 x active 787-10s & 8 x regional A350s + 18 x A333s + 4 x 772 regionals + the equivalent of 4 x 772ERs.
around the equivalent of 44 regional aircraft now.
with added flights & routes surely i thought they'd need 'growth' in their regional fleet?
but to remove the remaining 8x 772s entirely, means 8 or more regional aircraft joining the fleet this year.
sorry, haha just doing some calculations.

Further they does not seem to add much routes regionally these two years. But instead use 787-10 which carry more paxes.

My bad, sorry guys.
So the tally is
22x regional aircraft joining fleet this year (16x A359 + 6x B78J)
And 21x old regional aircraft leaving fleet
It does balance off.
“New flights” I was referring to additions like... SQ267/8..SQ504...SQ620...etc.. all of which utilise the regional fleet. Seems they’d need a net growth in regional aircraft.
