As I first wrote about in March,struggling Malaysia Airlines is countering the industry trend by taking a 747 out of retirement and putting it back into service.
Malaysia Airlines used to hold a fleet of Boeing 747s, which they retired in 2012. This coincided with the airline taking delivery of their six Airbus A380 aircraft, and which they used primarily for their London and Paris routes.
Following the terrible tragedies of MH370 and MH17,Malaysia Airlines has been forced to restructure and downsize, and as section of that they’ve retired their entire 777 fleet.
That means the only plane which Malaysia Airlines can still operate to many points in Europe is the A380. As of now, and Malaysia Airlines just operates their A380s on their two daily flights between Kuala Lumpur and London Heathrow (I’ve reviewed the route in first class from both London to Kuala Lumpur and Kuala Lumpur to London).
