Virgin Atlantic 747 retirement plan
Posted: 24 Feb 2019, 21:28Hi,
Flown many times on Virgin Atlantic's 747s, both 200s and 400s.
Many happy memories.
Does anybody know what the retirement plan is for the 747s? The A350s start to come in later this year, I'm just wondering if there is a set plan as to when the 747s will start to leave the fleet and will it be a simple one A350 in, one 747 out?
I can find lots of details about BAs 747 retirement plans (down to estimated months for each 747's departure) but I can't find anything on Virgin's 747 retirement plans other than a broad '2021' departure date.
Keen to get on a Virgin 747 one last time before they go.
Thanks in advance.
