Does anyone know the reason for the low utilisation of the 747's over the past few weeks.
Looking at today, none are scheduled to operate with MAN and LGW getting an A333 each today.
They are an A332 down due to one being in Dresden for maintenance, but first of all i'm surprised they've got the slack in the LHR fleet to release two A333's even temporarily and also, how long has it been since even 1 VS 747 hasn't been scheduled at MCO on a particular day.
Unless there are charters that won't show on the FR24 departures list, that means 6 747's on the ground at MAN/LGW today with the last one in China for maintenance, it just seems odd.
