9V-SMU B747-400 Singapore Airlines

[Dave Dale]

Hi all, could anyone help me with finding out which lease company owns 9V-SMU, c/n 27068, l/n 1000? I belive Singapore Airlines off loaded it some years back.

Thanks

[Ash W]

According to this website it is still owned and by SQ.

It was still in Singapore Airlines service in April 2010.

Thanks for that. I did realise this and believe it maybe the oldest aircraft in the Singapore fleet... But I was sure it was (now) owned by a leasing company and (continued to be) operated by Singapore Airlines... I could be wrong though.

Dave, the aircraft is leased from a financial institution in the US though I don't know the name of the entity. As far as I'm aware its still operated by SQ.

It has been operating SIN-NRT-LAX return over the past few days ...

From memory she came back from the temporary graveyard to fly while SQ has their A380 issues a few weeks back!
