AF028 CDG 10:15 IAD 13:50 772 P9 F9 A1 J9 C9 D9 I9 Z9 O3 Y9 B9 K9 H9 W9
AF134 CDG 10:35 BOM 23:30 772 P7 F7 A7 J9 C9 D9 I9 Z0 O0 Y9 B9 K9 H9 W9
AF112 CDG 15:55 PVG 10:00 772 P9 F9 A9 J9 C9 D9 I9 Z9 O1 Y9 B9 K9 H9 W7
AF116 CDG 23:25 PVG 17:25 772 P9 F9 A0 J9 C9 D9 I9 Z9 O9 Y9 B9 K9 H9 W9

By the last count, at least 7 B772ERs remain to be retrofitted, a process which is supposed to be completed by the end of May. Up until then, there are OTC flights to be found in the reservation systems to such destinations as EZE, PVG and HKG.

Thanks. I stand corrected. Still there is almost a 30% probability to get an old 777-200 (7/25). If seven is the current number, do they plan to retrofit all of them in less than three months?
