LH 744 at LGG ? It was actually an A343 !

Post by airtrainer »

Hi,

This afternoon (23.11) I saw a Lufthansa 744 parked at the North Terminal in LGG, anybody has more info on that unusual visitor ?
Thanks.

As far as I know, there is no 744F in the LH fleet but only MD11 and 777.

Hello

I just checked the loaded flightplans and can't find any Lufthansa flight or even D-registered aircraft.
The only 747's I found are El Al, CAL and TNT

Greetings,
All my posted timings are local !

Strange indeed, I could only see the tail from where I was but it's definitely LH. Will try to have a look again tomorrow...

Hi. This is no B747, but an A340. It's sitting there for about two weeks now. Probably diverted to LGG due to pilot strike.

So its cheap winter parking i guess ;)
How come they have no use in winter for such a plane ?

Hmmm thanks for the update, I was too far to see clearly but it has to be the first time I take an A340 for a 747 :mrgreen:
