Modern twin-engine aircraft have clearly better fuel economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">British Airways, like the rest of the world&#039;s airlines, has been plunged into a fight for survival since travel bans and closed borders have hampered virtually all commercial traffic operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The British airline is facing further layoffs of up to 12,000 employees, equivalent to 28 percent of its workforce, to ensure that operations can continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Boeing has also signaled that the jumbo jet is headed for the grave. A year ago, the aircraft manufacturer informed its suppliers of final order volumes for parts for the model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: Nyhetsbyr\u00e5n Direkt<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Det IAG-\u00e4gda flygbolaget British Airways, som \u00e4r den st\u00f6rsta \u00e4garen i v\u00e4rlden av den s\u00e5 kallade jumbojeten Boeing 747, har beslutat att pensionera hela flottan av den anrika plantypen.
