And where is the MD replacement? This is why KLM retired it, no parts.
Boeing has said they will not support the MD after 2018. That's three years away. But Zero Orders. You do the math.
All the new aircraft out there that can replace the MD11 wings are to long , and will not fit in World Port. Or so I've been told.
