Su a.net c'è un thread al riguardo
It seems to be more concrete information inside the company about the proposed retirement of Lufthansa´s AB6 fleet.
Now there are 7 AB6 still operating. The rest are grounded in DRS ( I would say there is another one as back up, but I´m not 100 % sure about it )
1st Phase : July 2009
From July, 4 of them will be grounded. 3 will remain flying.
2 will be used exclusively for intra german routes and one for european routes. ( I guess BCN, and ATH mainly )
2nd Phase : November 2009
1 will be grounded. The remaining 2 will be flying only intra german routes
3rd Phase : December 2009
The last two operating AB6 will leave the fleet.
So, if everything goes as planned, we will see the end of Lufthansa´s AB6 in 8 months
frown Sad
Those birds will be missed !
Rumours are that they will be sold to DHL
Non conosco l'attendibilità della fonte, il rumor è comunque sufficientemente dettagliato e articolato da far presumere sia verosimile. Magari qualcuno ha dei riscontri?
