Something is seriously wrong when such planes aren't even converted to regular passenger service or at least a freighter; what a waste of fine aircraft.
The scrapping will minimize the financial losses, the usable parts will be recycled as like new parts for the rest of the fleet. Any type of airliners will face the same when they are worth more as parts sources than flying.
It's very sad to know that she had only 42 hours. This beautiful airplane didn't deserve such an unfortunate end. However, with costs being very high, there really is no other relief for this beauty. The 747-8 is always going to be a fantastic airplane for longer routes. The Queen will always live on!!!!
It was due to be delivered in 2015 to the Saudi Goverment but the Delivery never happened. It was outfited already in Basel. Guess the Interior was just to... well i guess no one else wanted it. Indeed sad
So sad for such a new barely used Boeing 747-8 to get scrapped. Surely, Lufthansa or Korean could have bought this at big discount as Saudi’s only wanted $95 Million or even cheaper for it and they bought it new for $300 million. It’s very sad. Why didn’t the new Saudi King want it anyways ?
This aircraft has already been scrapped !!!!.😮

From what I heard Atlas actually wanted to convert it into a freighter but they refused to sell to them.
This airplane was taken apart over a year ago. .
Long live the Queen ❤
I just seen this bird in Pinal Air park. Sad to see it was practically new before it was scrapped.

@@AeroProductions747 danke, ebenfalls😉
Great spotting and unfortunate for this aircraft to be scrapped, I hope to see many 747s in the future. Keep up the good work 👍
Thank you so much.
Wy would they scrap it with only 42 hours on the clock?
This plane is the first 747-8 that ever to be scrapped. The reason for this was that there was no use for it and it couldn't be sold..
That’s sad!!! Nice video though 👌🏻
Thank you for your feedback.
@@AeroProductions747 you’re welcome!
what's the history?? why scrapped??
It was due to be delivered in 2015 to the Saudi Goverment but the Delivery never happened. It was outfited already in Basel. Guess the Interior was just to... well i guess no one else wanted it. Indeed sad

Not scrapped. It will be parted out as it's a useful source of very valuable spare parts.
This is also known as aircraft scrapping. But it doesn't matter.
