Jump to postI seem to remember some to united were mainly going for parts not to be flown . The insiders in the UA threads said that UA was serious about taking in at least 30-40 CFM-powered A319/320s. They took in quite a few IAE-powered ones primarily from China Southern, and they’re using them basically to ...

How many airports that saw A380s are unlikely to ever see them again? In the US, ATL/BOS/ORD/DFW/HNL/IAH/LAX/MIA/JFK/SFO/IAD all saw regular A380 operations. ATL will probably never see regular A380 ops again, and I would say the same is likely true for IAH/DFW/MIA/BOS. ORD didn’t have regular A380...
