Boeing 747

Airlines

Most international airlines use the 747 on their busiest routes. However, as point-to-point international service between midsize cities has become more common, some major airlines have replaced their 747's with smaller and more efficient twinjet aircraft. American Airlines, and Continental Airlines are among the larger carriers to discontinue the 747. Other airlines that have removed the type from their fleet include Air Canada, Aer Lingus, SAS, TAP, and Olympic Airways.
