(EDIT: However, you are correct regarding the age of the actual aircraft, I believe it IS the oldest aircraft in their fleet (17.5 years), however, it was refurbished in 2013).
I was basing it on what they provide as aircraft information when making a booking. It describes it as a 777-200 (no ER suffix). However it doesn't materially change my view that the OP is being a bit of a drama queen when suggesting SQ Ops will be devastated by the loss of a single day on this route
