Thai may buys SQ's 744 and SQ is looking at 773ER
-
Thai Airways unveiled more details of its new low-cost carrier, SkyAsia. Airline officials told ATWOnline that fares will be 40% below normal domestic offerings and tickets will be available through 7-Eleven stores. Services using three 737-300s taken from Thai Airways' mainline fleet are due to start in June.
Separately, Thai Airways executives said the airline is looking at acquiring some 747-400s from Star Alliance partner Singapore Airlines in lieu of the collapsed deal with United Airlines for seven aircraft. SIA has told its pilots that it plans to reduce the number of 747-400s in its fleet significantly over the next three years and replace them with 777-300ERs.--GT -

You will see the A380, the first airline to operate the A380 will be SQ and expect to see the plane in Changi in 2-3 years time. 7E7 is just papertalk.

Thai has GE CF6 engines on their jumbos while SQ has PW4056s right?

Yes. In addition, Thai has decided not to buy UA's PW powered 747-400. Instead they will look at other ways to obtain either new or second-hand 744s.Originally posted by leeJZ:Thai has GE CF6 engines on their jumbos while SQ has PW4056s right?
