Farewell Avro, you will be missed...

15 years ago it was an Avro that performed our very first flight. On 28 October 2017 our OO-DWD flew the very last commercial Avro flight for us... Brussels Airlines will miss you, Jumbolino!

Ice Cat There’s some still in service with cityjet, and most of the flights that go to Antarctica are flown by these planes via Chile. Peru also flies them as well with Star airlines.

[@lesterawilson3]

Built in 1998 - still a relatively young airframe when retired, but the decision was most likely due to the fact it was a regional jet with 4 engines and the fuel and maintenance costs were no longer sustainable for this class of aircraft.

[@MrSupercar55]

It's no brighter for long range jets, such as the Boeing 747 and 707, or the Airbus A340 and A380. All these jets have 4 engines and there doesn't seem to be a happy ending in sight for them either with Boeing's 777. I'm not even going to get into the fate of the Antonov AN-225 Mriya and whether or not it'll be rebuilt. I guess the moral of the story is that 2 engines is all you need, and modern technology has facilitated one size fits all.

[@pompomaddons]

@@MrSupercar55 I mean, the 225 is a national icon. Maybe when Russia has a military coup just like china (theory) it’ll probably get rebuilt in atleast 10 or so years from then.

[@UncleFester84]

I've worked as a ground crew at an airport which served these very planes, it was always a bit special to call four engines to start up during pushback. Also it didn't need an air starter to start up if the apu was inop, which is always a plus, and in the morning it was the only plane we were permitted to open ourselves, without waiting for the crew. I especially remember seeing one in the taxyline coming towards us, and right behind it was an antonov an-124, it was like watching a baby in the front and a big dad in the back. Ah... memories.

I’ve only flown in the Avro Jet once. I will always remember looking out of the window on the right side of the aircraft and looking at the two beautiful engines slung under the wing at eye level which I’d only experienced before in the Propeller driven Fokker F27. As the Avro accelerated down the runway I lowered my gaze to watch the runway speed past and to my horror I thought “Oh my god, they’ve left a cargo hold door open” I was just about to scream out when my brain kicked into gear and reminded me that the door I was looking at was actually the door to the right landing gear wheel well. Once my heart rate returned to normal I really enjoyed the flight. 😂😂😂😂
