The A388 will return to the skies once again
The Chief Executive Officer of British Airways Sean Doyle has plans to prepare the A388 return to service. While other airlines are slowly retiring this aircraft like Lufthansa, Qatar, and more. Note* “Qatar’s A388 will not be leaving the long-term storage facility,” said the CEO of Qatar Airways Akbar Al Baker. The CEO has in addition said the A388 will be in their future plans and has restated that they are committed to operating the A388 while in stark contrast the British carrier retired its B747–400 fleet late last year.
The British carrier currently operates 12 aircraft. British airways have also recently been cycling their A388’s at London Heathrow for routine maintenance to remain in check. Since the pandemic British Airways’ credit rating has fallen to BB, so this move might be able to help bring it back up. We hope to see the British carrier fly its A388 in the skies once again!
