its not the sole replacement is what I’m getting at, the 787 and A350 and 777x will replace all the 777s and 747s, no set replacement for any fleet. The 777x is the main replacement for the older -200s however.

Original before B779 was delayed, the A350-1000 and B777-9 was the replacement for the B747-400 because don’t forget BA had over 57 B747-400 was the biggest operator in 2010s.

I’m just wondering if we’re drifting into Aviation Talking Point territory recently. A lot more discussion on past or current functions than articles and breaking news.

Yeah… probably, sorry about that!
Austrian Airlines has cancelled its wet lease contract with Swedish carrier Braathens Regional Airlines with immediate effect, reportedly due to Braathens having failed an operational audit.
According to Austrian Airlines, the Swedish operator does not meet the operational standards required by the Lufthansa Group.
Braathens had been operating a number of short haul routes out of Vienna on behalf of the Austrian flag carrier since February 2024. Austrian Airlines was compelled to engage the airline’s services as it lacked an aircraft small enough to operate some feeder routes where business demand was too low for its Embraer E195 aircraft.

Ed Wegel, the entrepreneur behind the resurrection of defunct airline Pan Am, has stated in a social media post that the renascent airline will be operating an Airbus fleet once it commences operations, with the A320neo being the preferred option.
While the original Pan Am had strong ties with Boeing, it was also a customer for the A300 and A310.
