I remember reading that ANA were to retire all there 744’s in another 2 years time and replace them with 777’s. Hence why ANA has started to operate LHR with T7’s and 744’s, In Spring they will switch to all 777 operations.
I read that XL ordered the A330’s for TCD, However these could be going to XL France, We’ll have to wait and see I suppose! 😉

Not sure. Wasn’t they selling them all and replacing them with 77Ws? Or was that another airline?
I think they’ll probably keep their 74Ds?

I thought they ordered ANA 744s ages ago?
How many 744’s are ANA selling?
I definatley know that OASiS Hong Kong Airlines recently got their hands on 3 of ANA’s 744’s, boosting their fleet up to 5 in total!

Yes I remember this story from a while back too, they were supposed to replace the 300’s once they became available…

i think they may get 747-400s.
For once Tommy you could be right.
I remeber hearing a while back they were looking at some old United 747-400s
