@mja72 Yes they are. SV was the launch customer of this type (not the far more common 600R) back in the early 80's with 11. They served mainly high volume domestic routes and some regional routes. I was surprised when SV retired them as they did abruptly in 2003-2004. they were old but not as old as the 732 (that remained for a year or two after) or the 741 that have been grounded and retired last year. These have been parked for a long time now, I don't see any potential buyers.

Aern't those SV's old A300-620's standing there next to the sole MD-90? I think they sold some of their A300's which ended up getting scrapped and the rest remain parked awaiting buyers.
I'm not sure if anyone knows this but Saudia's A320s and A330 are a mix of owned and leased planes. Some might not have TVs because they were leased from Turkish airlines until the rest of the planes they ordered arrives. On a different note, I took their A330 Dammam-Jeddah in business class. The service was good, with TVs, on board WiFi and you're allowed to use your cell phone during cruise. My only disappointment is that their business and first class seats are not 180 degree flat beds.

@SVnerd I believ the A320 designated with numbered registartions (eg. HZ-AS14) are on dry lease while those with letters are fully owned by SV (eg. HZ-ASB). I have been on both and the all have PTV ONLY in J class while Y class has none. Thanks for watching and commenting.. more SV flights and video on my channel!
