Replacing the MD-11, Issue 7 Sep/Oct 1999
Issue 07 Sep/Oct 1999
The MD-11 quickly became unpopular with passenger airlines after the
arrival of the A340 and 777. The freight market is the MD-11’s only
secondary market disposal option and is currently oversupplied. Does the
MD-11 pose any operational or economic problems to its operators, or can
they wait for the right time to dispose of their fleets?
