The Air park here's been open for business for about a year - still no customers.... looking forward to seeing something arrive to be stored (or is that a bit morbid?)

Cheers,
Geoff

Hopefully next regional economic crisis it'll be full, otherwise they need all the planes they can get.

Hi, I'm a bit confused about the remaining 4 class 744s. Are they staying that way until retirement (seems most obvious)? Have they stayed on to take advantage of routes that may have an F market like 127/128 etc since the A380 order deferral?

The unfurnished a/c (think 6 in total) are staying as they are until retirement. Where they have a first class cabin (think still 3 of them) they sell first as business.

You will find the non refurbished a/c mostly fly to J'berg, Tokyo, Singapore and BNE-LAX.

There are three left OEB OJL and OJM, however they do sell and operate F on certain routes including QF127 to HKG.
