Two 747-400s from SQ were sold to Air Atlanta in Apr 2004. Air Atlanta has a 18-month contract (beginning July 2004) with Iberia for the Madrid-Havana route under a wet-lease arrangement. The aircraft look Iberian inside and out, but carry "TF" instead of "ES" registration. Don't know how old they are, but being ex-SQ, they can't be too old.

We flew this leg couple of years ago and the return flight was on real Iberia aircraft for some reason. The difference between the Air Atlanta Icelandic and Iberia flights was very noticeable.
Does anyone know exactly what aircraft they are using for Madrid-Hava na-Madrid right now? Is it as old 747 as it used to be? I haven't noticed the Singapore Airlines ownership before.
