“Today will be a difficult day for everyone at British Airways as the plane leaves our home in Heathrow for the last time,” said CEO Alex Cruz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more than 50 years, the 747 has been the world’s most recognizable airliner, with its humpbacked fuselage, four engines and 16 main wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
