BA will start retiring its iconic 747s on Tuesday
British Airways will retire its first Boeing 747 this week after confirming last month the majority of its 31 jumbos had flown their last commercial flights.
The 747-400, registration G-CIVD, will take off one last time from Heathrow at 9am on Tuesday (18 August) under flight number BA9170E after more than 25 years’ service, bound for Spain.
