CDG seems like the second-most likely European A350 destination. LHR would be cool to see, most likely out of ATL, DTW, and or JFK, but that seems like more of an A330-900neo route.

My long shot prediction is MSP-ICN, but I'd assume it would start with a 777.
Also in the coming months you'll start seeing one off flights to various cities on the 350 as coverage for the 777s taking up to 60-90 days for heavy checks and the D1 mod.

JFK-TLV has been rumored as well
That is going to be hard because it will require a bridge route. Not sure why they would move it over from the 242t 333s.
My apologizes, I thought LAX-ICN was announced on the 350, but i guess not. I also don't see LAX-PVG on the 350 either, it shows a 77L at least until May.

Is that so very different from what they've been flying since October in terms of scheduled flights, not including the occasional charter here and there? I'm just not sure what "re-entering scheduled service" means here.

So Delta didn't go through with the retirement of the 4 non ER Pratts. Why the change?

They retired 2 of them, and they needed the last 2 for the summer schedule. They'll be gone in September.

When will both N507DN and N508DN start passenger service? It would have to be in the next few weeks, as ATL-ICN and DTW-AMS start A350 service later this month.

Narfish641 wrote:Quick rundown on the 767-300ER retirement so far:
*1st frame was N1501P (Previously A4O-GL for Gulf Air. Also not sure if this was a high or low J). 27 years at retirement with its first flight on 10/5/1990 and retired 12/1/2017 with its final flight from SEA-SBD. 2 GE CF6-80C2B4 engines powered this frame.
*2nd frame was N153DL (Previously A4O-GN for Gulf Air. This was a low J frame). 27 years at retirement with its first flight on 11/8/1990 and retired 3/9/18 with its final flight from ATL-SBD. 2 GE CF6-80C2B4 engines powered this frame.
If I'm not mistaken and I know someone said this either in another thread, but I believe the next retirements will take place in the summer. Also does anyone know how many Ex-Gulf Air frames that are in 763ER fleet?
And what flymco753 said, I am truly thankful for the creation of this thread as well all the contributions that hkcanadaexpat provided, as well as all the awesome people that contribute in this forum. This is a really awesome thread and we have some really awesome people in this forum. I do not know if you get this alot, but thank you.

Thanks. I was thinking that I remembered seeing those lower tail numbers back towards the end of the DFW hub days. I used to fly to Atlanta a fair amount back then.

Ships 1401, 1402 are the 767-300s I know. And it seems that Ship 184 will be the 2nd retirement this year for the 767-300ERs. There supposed to be 3 ER retirements this year unless they rescheduled it.

Did DL fly the B762, B763 and B763ERs to DFW at that time?
