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 Aircraft already stored at GBA and TEV are presumed to have been withdrawn there. The last 744 flight took place on 11 December 2020 with G-BYGC's positioning flight from CWL to DGX.
