Course they can reconfigure. But they won’t be used on the JFK in the medium term as they are the wrong configuration, but more importantly, Terminal 7 is nowhere near equipped to handle the A380.

The B777 fleet will be replaced by the A350-1000s as the 777s are returning to the lessor from next year.

Jump to postThere was lots of problems leading up to their collapse.
1 reason is that they had a decent percentage of their business in countries like Egypt and countries like Tunisia but those markets collapsed and monarch had to restructure their routes.
Other people will explain better into other problems.
For its the B753 looks small at first but when you're next to it,it's longer than expected and it keeps going.

Air Berlin will end all long Haul ops by October 15th,very sad to see a airline crumbling like this.
These could potentially replace the openskies B752s which operate from ORY.Level are considering opening a Paris base therefore IAG could merge openskies&Level together into the Level brand and possibly move ops from ORY to CDG.
