The Aircraft in Question
9V-SWN (L.N. 703 / MSN 34579) and 9V-SWM (L.N. 701 / MSN 34578) are the two aircraft that were converted into cargo freighters.
SWN was delivered to SQ in March 2008, whilst SWM was delivered in the month previously. As mentioned, each aircraft fit 264 seats onboard, consisting of four seats in First Class, 48 in Business, 28 in Premium Economy and 184 in Economy accordingly.
As for SWM, this aircraft was recently painted in the White Star Alliance colours back in April last year, offering a more interesting look at a cargo aircraft.
The Cargo Thrust
It seems as if SQ has been doing things like this for a while in terms of conversion. Back in August, its low-cost carrier Scoot (TR) converted Airbus A320 aircraft into freighters as well.
