Forthcoming retirements (see note 3)
On 17 July 2020,
British Airways announced that it was consulting on the immediate withdrawal of the entire remaining 744 fleet. It did not expect to operate any further 744 commercial services. The retirement of the remaining fleet commenced on 18 August 2020 with G-CIVD's departure from LHR to CDT. Aircraft already stored at GBA and TEV are presumed to have been withdrawn there. All remaining 744s are now marked as stored.

Notes:-- Total hours is not a definitive guide to airframe age / remaining life / time to next check.
- The main list remains in hours order despite the reporting date no longer being uniformly 31 December of each year. The chronological order of delivery is almost exactly the same as the alphabetical order of registration.
- Please check the wikipost for any available up-to-date information about retirements.
- All remaining 744s have New First.
- All remaining 86J (super high-J) 744s have wifi.
