Hello every one just to update some news for all people who visit this site. PAL have sent to new 777 freighter aircraft to Majove storage facility today. Boeing has ferried them across there. FedEx have interest in them as they are grounding there DC10 fleet to the desert and the 777's are more economical for the cargo company.
Qantas Airways (Australia)
Boeing comfirmed yesterday that four A380 super jumbo's have being Defered along with orders from Boeing for a further 12 737-800 and the 787 Dreamliner jets have being canceled. Qantas announced yesterday that 1700 jobs will be lost as a result of negitave profit and the future forecast looks grim for the Kangaroo airline with more lay off's exspected. Qantas has decided to bring back out of storage three older 744 aircraft which were due to be ferried to the Desert will now be re deployed for service due to cut backs in aircraft. Mind you they are running there jets at risk on a very fine line.
I will keep you up to date with further developments as they come to hand. ZK-NBT-744 ZK=NBS another 744 from AIR NEW ZEALAND will be retired from the fleet some time this year. Thank you
Regards
