I know the IFC is not google, but i can not find an answer that makes sense
On flightaware and websites like that, there are planned flights with the BA 747, I thought it already retired
so i searched it up and it said they are retiring on 2024
that does not really makes sense
so can somebody tell me when there will be no more BA 747s in the air, so i am not confused
A few months ago, British Airways announced the immediate retirement of all remaining Boeing 747s. They will no longer operate any passenger flights. They were supposed to be retired in 2024, but low air travel demand accelerated the retirements.
There are still a few more British Airways 747s that will fly in the coming weeks. These will head to storage or scrapping airports though.
The BA 747 was annouced its retirement in July over the coming weeks the aircraft will be flown for scrap or storage (Kemble, St Athan and Castellon)
They were due for 2024 but due to Covid and IAG expecting that passenger demand will be back for then. It also was a factor that nearly the whole flight would’ve needed to be sold to make a profit
Only two are still at Heathrow in the moment and due for retirement as you wrote. I am not 100% sure how the situation in Cardiff is, but not so many flights remaining sadly.
