Singapore Changi Airport Spotting

Recommended Posts

The first day of the Lunar New Year has always produced nice surprises ... and the bunny year is no different.

 

The gem of the day came from Garuda ... in the late afternoon, it sent PK-GMF and I was commenting to my fellow spotters that if only PK-GFM was sent instead. Lo and behold, the desired retro B737-800 appeared.

This was followed by a quick drive (thanks to Tsen Tsan) to T1 for the push-back shot.

Earlier in the afternoon, yet another Delta Airlines B767-300ER N136DL arrived in SIN for maintenance at SASCO. There were already three other B763s from Delta at SASCO.

I could not help doing a closeup of AirAsia's A320 with the airline's title "tattooed" on its forehead.

Hi SIN spotters.

 

Has anyone seen Seair's latest addition, the former Tiger A319 9V-TRB? It was in service for them on the regular SRQ7796 flight to SIN on 8 Feb but I can't find any info on its new Philippine registration. Has it actually been registered in Philippines yet or is it flying for Seair still as 9V-TRB?

 

I know their first one ex 9V-TRA is now registered as RP-C4319.

 

Hope someone can help.

 

Thanks.

If I'm not mistaken, the second A319 is registered as RP-C5320. However, that registration has yet to be verified with an actual sighting myself or with a photo of the aircraft bearing its new Philippines registration.

RP-C5320 has been doing DG7792 (the morning flight) today and yesterday. Might come in tomorrow as well?

 

Hi SIN spotters,

 

Good afternoon from England. Am hoping someone can help regarding the two Seair A319s. I would like to know which one operated flights SRQ7792 / 7796 / 7797 on Friday 11th February. Hexcode for all three was 7581B9. Is it RP-C4319 or RP-C5320?. Would be a bonus if anyone knows the hexcode for the other bird as well.

 

Thanks,

 

John Hargreaves

Is this a new service? With 5th freedom rights? I think an A330 is too big for Vientiane to handle.

That means Biman is no longer operating the B772 leased from EuroAtlantic Airways?

 

According to A.net forums CS-TFM has been returned to lessor. I can't find that thread now though.
