Of course ! It's a perfect match : TK is trying to reduce the size of its fleet, whereas Iran Air is eager to get new aircraft !

I wonder what happened to DL .... There was a rumor that DL wants to buy used 777 probably 1 or 2 years ago when SQ was trying to get rid of the old ones from the fleet. Never heard they actually buy one because the intel said they believe the price was still too high at the time. I spoke to a 752 pilot very recent and it seems that he believes DL is still looking for 777. I wonder whether DL will take some from TK or even from ME3 (I think EK is getting rid of old ones now as well) ...

With a perceived market downturn looming, most operators are now reluctant to purchase large aircraft, even when the price is comparatively low.

Seem slike SQ has placed a 777-300 (non-ER) in storage at Victorville, and IMHO unlikely to return to service with SQ

Cathay 777-300 will have 438 seats in all classes: www.ch-aviation.com/portal/news/55502-cathay-pacific-denies-reports-of-merger-with-cathay-dragon"For its part, the mainline carrier has confirmed it will acquire five B777-300s from AerCap to replace its five remaining B777-200s. Deliveries of the aircraft, which are currently in service for Emirates (EK, Dubai Int'l), are scheduled for 2018/19. “The option to operate a regional fleet of all B777-300s rather than a mix of 777-200s and -300s, had been contemplated for some time to provide more seating capacity without growing the overall number of aircraft,” Jamie Carter, Manager (Aircraft Procurement & Trading), said. “We decided to act when these aircraft became available.” The reconfigured B777-300s will seat a total of 438 passengers in all classes compared to 398 in the current configuration. While no decision on the fate of the outgoing -200s has yet been taken, Carter noted that at present time, they will likely be sold or scrapped with parts reused for the B777 fleet."

Seems like the 777-300ER for Alitalia is off, as expected considering their status?
