7636 looked decent last month, though it’ll be gone very soon. 37, 38, 42 and 44 are all staying with kal.
The situation with 44 is exactly what happened to me with 38 when it got repainted. I shot it in late February, waited most of March in the queue, got accepted, then it only had like a week or two before it got buried because of the repaint. Now that I think of it, the same thing happened with 33 because it got pulled from service and its titles stripped before my shot got accepted. The real question is that are they surviving the year? I've seen some places reporting that they've removing the 748 from bookings which is interesting.
Last year they announced 748s will stay until 2031, and I haven’t heard anything to suggest that’s changed. The deal with SNC was for 5 planes (30, 31, 32, 33, 36), so the remaining 4 are safe for now.
That's what I've always heard until recently, we just lost the 748s for the 2nd time this year, but for some reason it always comes back so I'm holding out hope for its' return to ATL.
They’re booked for LAX in August ‘26, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see them pop up in ATL. LAX seems to be the only fixed destination, with ATL, LHR, CDG and HKG rotating.
With the integration of Asiana, I can see everything shifting around so it’s all up in the air.
If they repaint it's going to be the new one sadlyOh, but that's just a worn out paint. She needs a touch-up indeed! But the livery itself is much better than the new one!
