SAS and LHR
I was told that as now all the D-8`s are out of service and have been replaced with MD`s on there routes, so SAS were short of aircraft and used the A330`s and 340 on SAS 501 / 505 into LHR

With the 8Qs retired at such short notice, getting all flights flown is a delicate balancing act. In most cases by doing fewer flights, but with larger planes.
In essence it means that on some of the longer routes the 8Q has been replaced with MD-80s. The MD-80s are replaced by A320/21s. The A320/321s are replaced by A330/340. And that is how airports like LHR end up with widebodies.
