https://simpleflying.com/klm-747-farewell-review/KLM planned to soldier on a year a little longer keeping the 747 flying, but the Corona virus accelerated their plans and the last scheduled KLM passenger flight flew from Mexico City to Amsterdam on 29 March. Sadly as well, Qantas accelerated their 747 retirement with last flight 27 March. https://thepointsguy.com/news/klm-qantas-retired-747s/Very sad days for aviation and SXM lovers...........is this the apocalypse? If you are a 747 lover it is.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teczquc5ksMVideo above has inflight footage of last flight flying over Sydney Harbor Opera House.
