It was then prepared for VIM Airlines and re-registered VP-BVW including the new colour scheme and registration, but VIM folded before it was even delivered.
It has sat at Changi ever since, but certainly isn't 9V-SRB anymore, that registration was cancelled 9 years ago.
Wonder who owns it now and who is paying for its parking? I suspect "no one" and "no one" is the answer!

If no one is paying for parking, seems strange she would just be allowed to park long term.

I think B777-200, B777-200ER and B777-300 are the most pathetic one. There are still 16 of them. 3 B772, 8 B772-ER and 5 B773.
All of them except 2 B772-ER were delivered in 2001 - 2005, which almost 20 years ago.

Originally posted by flyguy View PostFor the 773s, they should be flying for the next 2 to 3 years easily, but only one is close to 18 years but can fly another 2 years at least before a major overhaul which is unlikely, whilst 3 are just about 15 years old.visit my blog

Is list updated? I think SRP is gone. So left with 5 old economy? How about B777-300?

There are now only 6 aircraft with the old (Refurb) economy: SQL, SRO, SVM, SVN, SYF and SYL. 2 772s, 2 77Es and 2 773s.

In JCL it's still a joy to fly them because I even managed to flip the bed down for a short while for a snooze, but I know YCL is really dire. In any case, guess they'll all be gone next year...

Originally posted by pokfur View PostI flew on SVN yesterday. The new safety video which is in digital format refused to play, so the old one which uses a cassette was played instead. It was so grainy!! The IFE system died on some passengers too halfway through their movies. The IFM was showing me the cabinet of the IFE system and gosh it looked so ancient!!

Originally posted by SQ228 View PostWell they will except for SYF & SYL and I really wonder how much effort they want to go to in order to produce a separate Krisworld file configuration, upload and magazine for just two aircraft in a fleet of 115+ yet I can't see them wanting to do a cabin refresh for planes they surely can't be intending to keep that much longer with so many new ones arriving.

Originally posted by pokfur View PostI believe the effort it takes to produce the separate Krisworld mag is, in fact, no more or no less than it takes now But the effort to refit the aircraft would be immense.
