The Final Boeing 747, Alaska Retires A320 and Bonza Cleared To Fly!
from Dj's Aviation Podcast · host Dj's Aviation Podcast
The last 747 emerged from a painting in Portland. However, instead of sporting a retro livery representing that of RA001, the first 747 appeared with a standard Atlas Air livery featuring Apex Logistics decals. Why is this? Alaska Airlines has marked the end of an era by retiring its final Airbus A320, a rapid retirement following previous fleet announcements. The airline had already retired its A319s and now only has 10 Airbus aircraft remaining in its fleet. How it acquired its Airbus aircraft is quite intriguing. Bonza, Australia's newest airline, has secured approval from CASA to begin scheduled passenger flights to regional airports from the Sunshine Coast and soon Melbourne. The airline had been seeking its certificate of approval since 2022 and encountered several delays that forced it to adjust its commencement date. However, Tim Jordan, the airline's CEO, says that the airline should begin flying before the end of the month.
