Isaac 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2007 Who own MH772 then? is MH own the bird? I am not sure if MH own any of the 772. From what i remember, 10x or 12x 772 were sold off and then lease back (in 2000 if my memory serves me correctly). The 2x newest 772 are not PMB property as well. Both of them belong to a Kuwaiti company (if i'm not mistaken). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jessnor Arif 1 Report post Posted June 26, 2007 according to PMB portfolio webpage PMB own 16 B744, 6 B772, 9 A333, 35 734, 10 F50, & 5 Twotter. but I don't think this is current record.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2007 Just thought I should also state for the record that with the addition of -MPE into the SIA fleet, SIA would have the 999th and 1000th B747 built... Who's got 1001?? Any chance SIA may take that one too? Alex. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Y. J. Foo 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2007 Who's got 1001?? Any chance SIA may take that one too? Thai Airways' HS-TGO is the 1001th 747 built. And no it won't have much chance in SQ fleet as it's GE powered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S V Choong 4 Report post Posted June 27, 2007 I remember seeing a photo years ago on Flight International magazine, 9M-MPE 999th 744 and SQ's 1000th 744 was sitting at Everette or Paine Field in Seattle. What is the rego of the 1000th 744?? Anyway, it will be my 2nd or 3rd time on 9M-MPE (9V-SPR) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kwek 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2007 9M-MPE has been re-registered as 9V-SPR. Visual confirmation of new registration this afternoon. Barring any last minute change, she will be operating SQ285/SQ286 this evening. Nocturnal flight for the locals here in Singapore but the folks in Auckland would have plenty of chances to shoot her in good light. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S V Choong 4 Report post Posted June 28, 2007 Thanks for the info Kwek. From what I know she will be taking me to Auckland on Saturday It is feeling a bit weird to see SIA crew operating inside MAS' interior! Looking forward to it anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keith T 2 Report post Posted June 30, 2007 (edited) Passengers on this flight should be very happy especially in EY because it got more legroom than any SQ original 744 ! Not in C - the MH C seats have a steeper incline than the Spacebeds. Can't comment about F. But yes Y will definitely be an improvement.

S V Choong 4 Report post Posted July 1, 2007 Geez Isaac, just arrived into Auckland this afternoon, with SQ285. It was MAS' ex-744 9M-MPE, now reregistered as 9V-SPR. When I did the online check-in on 29 June 2007, it was not loaded on the website.... They are getting 2x MH 744 and the other one being 9M-MPC (which will becoming 9V-SPS). I have spotted another Star Alliance livery 744 last night and I think it might be 9V-SPS. It was parked at gate F56 last night while our 9V-SPR was parked at Gate F54. I couldn't locate the exact registration as it was quite dark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S V Choong 4 Report post Posted July 1, 2007 Okay, I took 9V-SPR to Auckland last night. Everything was pretty much MAS. Seat coverings is still MAS. The Business class and First class is MAS' latest refabricated seats. I was sitting at seat 31A and I noticed that SIA crew did not use the mood lighting at Business class, it was just constantly blue light or nolight at all when in sleeping mode! I have spotted another Star Alliance livery 744 last night and I think it might be 9V-SPS. It was parked at gate F56 last night while our 9V-SPR was parked at Gate F54. I couldn't locate the exact registration as it was quite dark. Will be posting the pics up soon. I didn't take picture of the whole a/c as it was reflective and dark at Changi airport. Upon arrival at Auckland, it was parked at Gate 10 and I couldn't see the full view of the a/c as the gate was in the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think it was 9V-SPS/ex. 9M-MPC as 9M-MPC's most recent flight logged was June 28th as MH017 (AMS-KUL). It was probably 9V-SPP. Look forward to seeing your pics from the flight.
