Alitalia longhaul fleet plan?

[friendly_sky_friend]

When will Alitalia be replacing the 747-200Bs.
I knew they had ordered some Boeing 747-400s but these have now gone to Virgin Atlantic, and what has happenned to the 777 order?
Just a quick question!
thanx

Can I ask why the AZ & KL logo when there is no longer any alliance between the 2 ?

I have heard AZ pilots will be trained here in AF for 777. They are due to arrive soon.

Hey SirCris,

I put the Alitalia logo and KLM logo because those are my 2 favorite airlines images/icons/smile.gif hope that answers your question

Hi, I am really looking forward to seeing your new Boeing 777s when they arrive.
I know that you had ordered some 747-400s and as far as I know those went to Virgin, do you still plan on buying those?

Here is a pic of the new 'plane:

It is called Isola di Ponza and is the third for AZ of the production line at Hamburg - Finkenwerder

So will the 747-200 fleet be parked up or sold on to another operator?
Are the 747-200 aircraft leased?

Just a few questions.
