Up to new aircraft are delivered e.g. the 777x

At some point, maintenance costs are very high, and a 747 400 lot of kerosene is also consumed.

Still the most beautiful ever built plane for me.

Probably as long as a (very expensive) greater maintenance of the engines is due.

Because the engines are the more expensive on this plane, not the rest.

In order to extend the service life, engines of 747-400 shut down can also be ibalized, of which there are many on aircraft scrap sites.

Nobody can tell you that. I would like to appreciate those being gradually excreted by the 777 and 787

Well, I’d like to see Lufthansa 757, 767 or A300. Or would like to see the Cargo MD-11 (my absolute favorite Airliner). But the planes have served Lufthansa, the passengers and the crew have safely taken from A to B. Vllt’s going to fly her as cargo with other Airines.

Definitely not long! The 747-400 has been on the hump for several years and will be uneconomical in the long term, as older aircraft and, above all, 4 jet machines are very maintenance-intensive and are characterized by a fairly high fuel consumption. More and more airlines rely on 2 long-range jets, such as the Boeing 777 or 787 or the Airbus A350 or A330neo. I believe that until the complete delivery of the remaining 787-9 machines and at the beginning of the 777-9 delivery, the old 747-400 will be withdrawn from the passenger traffic at Lufthansa. However, I still believe that Lufthansa has a use for the 747-400 machines that are then being used in freight transport. The 747 is an ideal freight machine and is ideally suited for this task due to its size. I think that the last 747-400 machines will gradually be redesigned by 2025 and replaced by the new Boeings 787-9 and 777-9 and that many transatlantic routes will be taken over by the new machines in the USA and Canada.

I don’t give the 747-400 a long time. Some machines including D-ABVK have already been designed. Perhaps they can still be converted into freighters, but no longer.

At least the 748 remains. It’s just a pity that the D-ABVW disappears.

D-ABVW Is a 744 what is this machine has only until the 77X is there. What I find a pity that it disappears is the only machine that I know has been sponsored in construction. This is called Wolfsburg and carries the identification D-ABVW.

As a passenger pilot, I don’t think so long. After all, the flyer is a child of the 80s. It is said to be roughly swept over the thumb that such an aircraft is over 40 years of service. half of it as a passenger pilot.

So I guess, except for a few freight machines and very few passenger machines, no more of them should be in service.

I found it extremely fascinating that after felt eternity the A380 was laid by the announcement, the 1990s after “only” 13 years of construction ad akta. by 2035 or so there may be some copies flying as a passenger machine. if nothing comes in.
