re the 747s TF-AMJ is doing Hajj flights for Garuda but I don't know where the others went. TCD operated 747-200s in previous years and most of those have been scrapped I think. There are no current plans for TCD to operate the 747 again, but never say never!
It does seem like the days of the 747 are numbered certainly as far as Transatlantic flights are concerned...A330s/777s are simply a lot more economical. At Gatwick Virgin are the only airline operating 747s nowadays
