Farewell to Passenger's Favorites
Air Transat's new fleet policy also means that fans will have to say goodbye to some of their favorite aircraft sooner than expected. The number of Boeing 747s or Airbus A380s that will be seen in the skies or at airports after the crisis is likely to be reduced sooner than expected. KLM and Corsair, for example, retired their last Boeing 747s a year earlier than planned.
Air Transat said goodbye to its Airbus A310 earlier and there are likely to be far fewer Airbus A340s in fleets around the world soon.
