      Yes 4R-ALM is flying as UL 503.



      In the past few days 4R-ALM has done CMB-MLE-CMB, CMB-BLR-CMB, CMB-KWI-CMB, apart from its usual far east destinations, BKK, CAN, NRT

        A record-breaking attempt to fly around the world in a solar-powered plane completes its first leg, a 12-hour journey in the Gulf to Oman.

            And likewise SQ stopped doing special liveries, post SQ 006, as the SQ006 was a special Economy class promotional livery I recall. Somebody possibly theorised that the special livery caused the bad karma for the plane or something like that, I think ..
            ecureilx - I wonder why aircraft of SQ's low cost subsidery Flyscoot still have their nicknames.

            Any body know the nicknames of Flyscoot aircraft fleet?

                  Scoot is trying to promote the flamboyant image vs SQs corporate image !

                  Scoot = LCC = Fun, is their theme, as they have done in some very silly campaigns too

                  EG: WTF - Watch the Fare !! Something unimaginable in SQ's corporate branding

                  Some more

                    SriLankan is sending their new A333s to LHR also on the 16-MAR, 18-MAR, 22-MAR, 24-MAR, 27-MAR, 28-MAR. It's must be because SriLankan is selling more business class on this route, if i am not mistaken?

                    I will be sharing the picture of UL A333 from LHR very soon.

                        And the 787s are supposed to progressively retire the 772s ..

                        From Wiki: (though the timeline is maybe a bit off now .. )

                        Scoot plans to retire all six of its Boeing 777-200ERs by the middle of 2015 and move to an 'all-Boeing 787' fleet, following the delivery of the first of ten Boeing 787-9s in February 2015 and the first of ten Boeing 787-8s in mid-2015

                          Yeah I think Scoot already started the process of replacing the B772s. A couple of B772s (9V-OTA & OTF) are not in service for last few weeks as per FR24. Perhaps these two B772s have been replaced by two B787-9s which were joined the fleet in Jan 2015 and 5-Mar 2015. Eighteen more B787-8/9 are to be delivered in the future as Scoot has planned to keep all-dreamliner fleet.

                          "The economic advantages of this later generation aircraft – including a fuel-burn saving of around 20% per seat – ensure that costs and thus airfares can be kept low so that more people can travel more often" Wilson promised.
                          Scoot's Boeing 787-9 will be kitted out with 35 'all-leather' premium seats in ScootBiz class, arranged in a 2-3-2 layout.







                          The bulk of the bird will of course be given over to a sea of 340 economy seats in a 3-3-3 configuration, for a total head count – or should that be bum count – of 375.
