QF have registered the first of the 4 “midlife” ex SQ B737-800s as VH-XZQ, a 2015 build and is currently QFs newest 737.
One would assume that the next 3 are XZR/S/T?

Do we know if they will be refitted, given SQ operated them as 12J 150 Y with the larger rear toilets.
(Or wait until the 737 refurb program of 42 aircraft starts in 2027)

Not listed on QF seatmaps.

Aircraft 9V-MGK (which matches the serial number on the CASA rego) had been stored in KUL, but flew back to SIN 4 days ago.

MGL still in KUL, and MGM and MGM still flying for SQ (though MGM didn't fly over the weekend)

Are they keeping the SQ interior for a while or are they going straight to re-fit?
