Weird... I though one of the main reasons for their retirement was that the newer 744s and A340 have much better gas mileage. Why, then, would then bring them back?</font>
Probably because they need additional capacity... 742's still have the biggest Economy Class in the LH fleet. And there might be some 744 and 340 that go to heavy maintenace?
