Air France Retires First Airbus A380
Earlier today, an Air France Airbus A380, registered as F-HPJB, flew from Paris to Malta International Airport (MLA) after arriving from Johannesburg. The flight number was AF370V. (samchui.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
If the 747 and 380 can be retrofitted for cargo, they still may have life. The 747 that dumped water and retardant on the California fires this summer was appreciated. An now it can move to Australia to help with their fires.
Technologically unfeasible for cargo conversion due to poor floor load limits. Modification of floor not economically possible due to mating issues with composite fuselage structure.
Apparently there are wildfires still going on in Kalifornia
380 will never be a cargo aircraft.
An awful short life span.... I did not figure this plane would last.
Strange you refer to it as a "gas guzzler" when it's fuel burn per seat is better than the B747. Just saying.
A380 introduction: 2007(already retiring aircraft)
747 introduction: 1970
Just saying.

Go find me a 747 that was retired at 10.5 years old. Lol.
"Lufthansa intends to dispose of its brand new fleet of B747-8s in the 2020s, well before they were originally scheduled for retirement." That means a good deal of their 747-8i's will have been retired before 10.5 yrs
Again,
747 introduction: 1970
A380 introduction: 2007(already retiring aircraft)
I can't wait to LOL on you when there aren't any A380's flying anywhere in the world and there will still be the Queen of the Skies, going strong.
but muh lower fuel burn

And again you jump around "Go find me a 747 that was retired at 10.5 years old. Lol."...which I did..the only Queens that will be going will be freighters and we aren't comparing apples to oranges. You won't be loling at me because frankly, no skin off my back. She was a greeat bird but brought in late to the show!
I swear, by what others have said about the MH370 person, and his distaste for Boeing, you are his twin brother with hate and despise for Airbus!!
