Delivery of Aeroflot VQ-BFN towards HKG with callsign SU7734 at Feb 25th 2021

Why do these go through HKG? Some sort of second-hand fitting or some other reason? It more than doubles the distance to Moscow.

Pretty incredible how we are at the end of the line for the 77W. It feels rather abrupt in that it wasn't too long ago they were being pumped out.

Yes, absolutely, 88 delivered in 2016 was the most and a further 67 as recently as 2017.

It is at Haeco and it looks like it is being worked on although I'm not sure what. I saw it a couple of days ago, with all the vents/APU etc taped up, engine covers on, so looks like it won't be leaving soon.

I'm not so sure at this point.

WE866 1683/66587 HS-TTA is fully painted and outfitted in Everett.

WE867 1687/66588 HS-TTB is fully painted and outfitted in Everett.

WE868 1690/66586 HS-TTC was brought into paint and had the tail painted white, fuselage left green, engines removed and taken to runway 11/29 for storage. Thai identifiers were removed and the frame is not reported on any public database.

If anyone has more information I'd love to hear, but to me it looks like BOC needs a new buyer.

So, L/N 1690 will be stored and lessor BOC Aviation has to search for a new customer.
What about the future of L/N 1683 and 1687, seen the present financial issues at Thai Airways ?

RobK · Sat Mar 20, 2021 3:14 pm

Interesting. Was news to me too. I can confirm the details for 1690 were correct a couple of months back however. Surprised no photos of it "stored" from Matt as he's usually first to report on those.

Geoff1947 · Sat Mar 20, 2021 8:22 pm

Looking back on Matt’s blog there is a photo of LN1690 , from 9th February, reported as going to paint but I can’t see any after that

How come all the new builds for Aeroflot (aside from the A350) are still in the old livery? I understand about lead times, however its been almost a year (maybe more?) since they launched it. Too bad the A350 isn't wearing the older livery.. IMHO its timeless.

I believe one is being delivered on Thursday and the other on Sunday. I assume these are when they arrive at Schipol.

KLM likes to take end of line planes: their latest 737 is also (one of the) last passenger 737NG built.

TUGMASTER · Thu Mar 25, 2021 11:42 am

Off topic i know, but their latest 737 is the LAST 737NG built, but originally was due for delivery much earlier, An accident/issue at Boeing caused the original frame to be scrapped, and the last production 737NG being the replacement

Perhaps DHL changed the allocation to Southern Air from AeroLogic ?

The777Man

RobK · Thu Apr 08, 2021 3:54 pm

Of course that would be the logical explanation, but the current info Boeing holds is AeroLogic as the current operator with DHL Network Operations (USA) Inc as the owner (changed from DHL Aviation Americas) with N numbers already assigned.

Recent story on DHL 777Fs.

https://www.aircargonews.net/sectors/ex ... nd-europe/

In 2018, DHL ordered 14 new Boeing 777F, with 10 delivered by end 2020 and the remaining four to be taken into service in 2021. In January 2021, DHL ordered an additional eight new Boeing 777 freighters with first deliveries scheduled for 2022.

I’ve also heard further rumours of increased capacity for AHK so possibly looking at DHL 777s but the remaining 3 after D-AALR seems too few, but maybe not.

Anyone know the firing order and possible delivery dates for the last 3 in 2021?

CCA · Wed Apr 14, 2021 6:21 am

Forgot to add, if the remaining 3 are destined to go to aerologic that doesn’t leave much space for the AHK rumour.

TC957 · Wed Apr 14, 2021 8:03 am

Maybe DHL has the flexibility to interchange the operation of the 77F's between Southern/Aerologic/AHK as the demand and market conditions change in the US/Europe/Asia and adjusts the fleet accordingly.

CX Flyboy · Wed Apr 14, 2021 1:48 pm

The AHK/DHL rumour is for 5-6 frames and seems to be more than a rumour as CX is now briefing CX pilots of their intention for this to happen and be crewed by CX pilots seconded to AHK.

Only possible issue would be 77W specific interior bits. Boeing will still be building the nearly similar 77F for a while.

If Iran wanted 777-300ER they could get them used. If they wanted new frames they would presumably buy a current model series.

Iran's orders aren't going to be about what makes the best financial sense - its politics, almost purely. Regardless of whether the 77W is a "current model series," as it is still produced (albeit we think the last), if Boeing needs 777W orders to fill its production, then Iran will probably take a few as part of its package. That being said, I do anticipate the bulk to be 777X.

Wait, that's the last 77W ever? Truthfully I'm shocked at that. Thought they still had a few more on the books
