Are these three LH machines -400 or -8s?

OK - give us a clue?

SWBKCB Sorry. I was trying to ascertain if the Lufthansa 747s that were stored were the 747-400 model, or the later 747-8 (not -800!) For, if they were storing and planning to scrap the -8s it would indicate an even greater pessimism. Hearing that they are holding onto the -8s (for the time being) is good news.

seems the storage shorthaul Airbuses on the move again. A321s from LHR and GLA going to MAD, the LHR A319s and LGW A320s going to GLA for rest of winter. Not exactly clear the reasons for reshuffle.

It is probably full, but I’d guess that MAD is probably a healthier environment for an aircraft than a harsh winter in Scotland.

Regarding storage of aircraft but without knowing, would it be cheaper to store them away from LHR?
|
Glasgow is a BA Airbus engineering base.
|
BA look to be moving a fair few Airbus narrowbodies to PMI (presumably for storage) over the last few days.
|
Flight Radar shows 20+ BA airbuses have arrived and parked up at PMI in the last 3 days
|
Jethro’s states that 30 A320 family will be going to PMI for the winter.
|
Are they going to be parked on the second runway ? I recall in the 1980s when it was first built but not yet in use Spantax used it to park about a dozen of their old Convair 990s when they were retired.

I see that A380 G-XLEK is on its way into LHR this morning from Chateauroux. Has it been in storage there?

The latest plan involves moving the A380 fleet to the sunnier climes of Madrid and Teruel. Not so many are at CHR now.
|
Would have thought that Madrid would be too wet/cold for storage in the winter. Not unusual to see aircraft being de-iced there and have certainly passed through on a number of occasions when there has been snow on the ground. Don't forget it is situated at an elevation of 2,000ft.
