Group Flight: The Mighty 748!


It’s time for another long haul group flight! This time we’re taking the queen of the skies from Frankfurt all the way down to Johannesburg. Lufthansa commonly operate this route wearing their older livery with their new one being used once in a while so take your pick! It’s not very often you see the skies full of Boeing 747s so let’s make the most of it. Who’s ready to fly the jumbo?

IFATC will provide service where able, so remember to always be in contact with them if they are open. This includes centre and departure frequencies.
