Quite possible. But there is another indication that says MD11 may leave the fleet sooner than we think. According to TG's TPI for 26MAR2006 - 28OCT2006, there are no MD11s listed in any of the routes. So yea, the MD11 may leave sooner than we think.

But hey, it's TG and they are known to be rather unpredictable these days.

This leads me to wonder, why would they get rid of the MD11s and not A300s instead. Those A300s are old like anything.

Also, does anyone one recall TG opreating A310s? I remember 2 of them crashed, one in Kathmandu and one in Surat Thani. How many A310 were there originally in the fleet?
