This weekend I fly from Orly to Nice in with AF B777-300ER.
I was looking for the registrations of the AF B773 and noticed that they skipped the Q and W for the registration. So F-GSQQ and F-GSQW do not exist.
What could be the reason for this?

Hi,
F-GSQQ and F-GSQW don't exist effectively, as well as F-GSQZ. As Emirates correctely stated, the new 777 regs are F-GZN*.
The last 2 B747 COI (F-GITC and F-GITD - based at CDG) will be replaced by 2 B77W. These B747 are going to be first AF B747-400 to be withdrawn from service, in march 2009. I assume that the 2 B77W will be registered F-GSQQ and F-GSQW, leaving room for possible expansion (F-GSQZ).
Hope this helped a bit...

I would like to correct myself on this :HorsePower wrote:The last 2 B747 COI (F-GITC and F-GITD - based at CDG) will be replaced by 2 B77W.

On all the recently delivered aircraft, none of them wear the F-xxxW registration. So, the 2 B777W I was reffering will be likely registered F-GSQQ and F-GSQZ. I have the feeling that all of this is due to Airbus France, which have probably booked already all the F-xxxW registrations for theirs aircraft, waiting for delivery.
