The A330's only fly to short haul destinations on an adhoc basis, for other carriers. They are used on a number of long haul destinations:
Mexico - Cancun
Dominican Republic - La Romana
Puerto Plata
Cuba - Varadero
Holguin
Ciego De Avilla
Cayo de Coco
Summer only - Canada - Vancouver
Calgary
Florida - Sanford
Also been flying to Tobago and Greneda through the winter for Monarch. One of the A330's was also based in Beirut from 25th Jan to 25th Feb operating Hajj flights for MEA.

Who the heck wants to go to SFB (Sanford)? Its miles north of Orlando and the tourist traps, and the terminal is small, not to mention tight taxiways for WB aircraft and way too much primary flight training (Cessnas & Pipers) traffic for comfort.
Better to go to MCO-Orlando Intn'l.

Very few 757s are likely to be scrapped in the near future as FedEx have recently said they are shopping for about 100 secondhand ones to replace their 727 fleet. Yes some of them look a bit tired now, but with the interiors stripped out they'll suit the Freight Dogs.

I have seen some remarkable rehabbing for freight work - total reskinning the belly, glass cockpit in a DC-9, etc. so nothing would surprise me if the price is right.

Sunday 29th saw the first new Boeing 737 transit through LHR on delivery. Can anyone confirm if any of the others on the order will follow the same route and when they might arrive.
Also , is there anywhere net-wise where you can pick up info. on delivery aircraft transitting LHR with dates or times.
Be grateful for any help - thanks.

Maybe they pick up pax at LHR for an extra 1 way service to at least make a little revenue on the delivery flight?
I think they sent their 777s through LHR previously.

They go via Heathrow as Kenyan already have a 'station' at Heathrow due to having scheduled flights there. Therefore contracts are already in place for ground handling, fuel etc..
Kenyans B737-700's were also delivered via Heathrow. I can remember 5Y-KQG being delivered via the 'Row, I think it arrived as N715BA
