Jetstar Asia Unveils New A320 in Special SG50 Livery
Jetstar Asia (3K) today unveiled an Airbus A320 aircraft sporting a special "bird" livery to mark the 50th anniversary of Singapore (a celebration known as SG50).
"Look it's a bird, no it's a plane, it's a bird on a plane! Here's introducing Jetstar's brand new livery in celebration of Singapore 50th birthday!" the lowcost carrier said at its official account.
The new livery is inspired by the black naped oriole bird, one of the most common species of birds in Singapore.
Symbolizing strength and determination, the livery is made extra special with 50 everyday heroes who have made a difference in the lives of others.
The A320 will perform its first flight 3K513, departing Singapore at 7:15 p.m. on July 30 and heading toward Bangkok.
Jetstar Asia is the third Singaporebased carrier featuring a special SG50 livery, following Singapore Airlines and Scoot
Emirates Bids Farewell to Its Last Boeing B777-200
Emirates, a global connector of people, places and economies is pursuing an aggressive fleet renewal
programme that ensures it operates one of the world's most modern and efficient fleet of aircraft, with an average age of less than 75 months.
With Emirates taking delivery of 24 new aircraft in 2014/15 and 26 new aircraft planned to enter service this year, retiring older aircraft helps Emirates operate one of the youngest fleets in the skies today. Emirates currently operates 234 all widebody aircraft, across six aircraft types. It is also the world's largest operator of the Airbus A380 and Boeing 777 aircraft.
"Our modern and efficient aircraft not only help reduce environmental impact, but also enable Emirates to offer the latest facilities and provide our customers with a better onboard experience as well as the capacity we need to grow our operation. Our investment in modern widebodied aircraft has always been the cornerstone of our strategy and success," said Adel Al Redha, Executive Vice President and Chief Operations Officer, Emirates.
With seven aircraft phased out in 2014 and another 10 planned for retirement this year, the Emirates Aircraft Assets team of 35 employees in coordination with other teams are busy around the clock managing the retirement of older Emirates aircraft. This not only includes a significant amount of paperwork and administrative tasks, but also involves returning the aircraft in a similar physical condition to when it was received.
Emirates recently phased out A6EMF, the last remaining Boeing 777-200 from its fleet. The aircraft departed from Dubai International to Arizona via Boston for deregistration on July 14.
Since joining the Emirates fleet in 1996, A6EMF flew an estimated 60 million kilometres (enough to fly to the moon and back nearly 80 times) and transported hundreds of thousands of passengers to destinations as far and wide as Warsaw and Ho Chi Minh City.
Watch the final departure of A6EMF here.

"In order to keep our fleet modern, efficient and appealing to our customers, we phase out some of our older aircraft on a regular basis. So far, in 2014 and 2015 we have phased out three B777200s
and eight A340500s schedule, which is no mean feat in itself. For the year 2015/2016, we're planning a total of 10 phaseouts," says Philip Audsley, Manager, Aircraft Assets.
Depending on the aircraft agreement, Emirates either returns the aircraft to the lessor at the end of the lease term, or presents the aircraft to the market for sale.
"The process of giving back a leased aircraft actually begins up to a year prior to the return of the aircraft, and includes meetings with the leasing company, providing paperwork and service/history records, liaising with the procurement department regarding the high value items fitted to the aircraft (such as landing gears and engines), and multiple physical inspections," Mr. Audsley continued.
Physically, the aircraft goes through a number of processes, including a "debranding" exercise, which includes removing Emirates livery and branding from the aircraft. In effect, the aircraft becomes unrecognisable that it was an Emirates aircraft, apart from the seating and carpet, which remains intact.
Emirates pilot, Captain Constantinos Nicolaou flew A6EMF to its final destination in Arizona.
