Where do they get their mantainance done and when will FJL be back? FJK was gone for quite a while so I would assume it will too. Her paint is looking really bad so I hope they repaint the scheme and not the plane

Air Pacific 744 heavy maintenance is done at Changi with SIA Engineering Company (both 744's are leased from SIA). DQ-FJL arrived SIN on 11th Feb

You would imagine that SIA would provide the replacement aircraft, considering they are the supplier of the leased planes?!

Yes, their fleet of 744's is dwindling. 9V-SPL to Cathay as B-HKX in Jan this year.

Why would they? Sure its looking old but surely they could repaint like Qantas did the "Wunala Dreaming" scheme.
