SAA plans to finally phase out 747-400s at year-end

By Brendan Sobie

South African Airways (SAA) is planning a second phase-out its Boeing 747-400 fleet at the end of this year.

The Star Alliance carrier first grounded its remaining 747-400s in 2007 as part of a fleet and network restructuring. But while the grounding was initially intended to be permanent, SAA decided to reactivate part of its 747-400 fleet in late 2008.
