Incredible: Just ONE A380 Flying in The Sky!

Coronavirus is now known to be aviation's biggest farewell party. It is hard to believe just one A380 is flying in the sky at the moment!

It is not even a scheduled A380 flight, but a repatriation charter operated by Lufthansa on behalf of the German Government.

At the same time, I noticed how many Boeing 747s are flying in the sky, covering almost all continents.

All but 3 of the B747s flying in the sky are cargo flights. The essential airfreight fleet has hardly been impacted by the coronavirus.

The 3 passenger B747 exceptions are:

• Lufthansa B747-8 from Frankfurt to Sao Paulo
• Lufthansa B747-400 from Christchurch to Bangkok (Repatriation Charter)
• Wamos Air B747-400 from Madrid to Miami

For Boeing 747 lovers, there is a rare piece of good news; KLM has brought back their recently retired B747 to operate more cargo flights.

We join hands with @philips and the Dutch government to create a special cargo air bridge between the Netherlands and China to transport essential medical supplies. Because of the major shortage of cargo capacity, two Boeing 747 Combi’s will temporarily take to the sky again. ✈️ pic.twitter.com/6YwkwAWFyF
