The Long-Term Outlook for Aviation
Although the retirement of iconic aircraft is disheartening for aviation enthusiasts, the industry is steered by economic viability and environmental considerations. Newer aircraft are not only more efficient; they also contribute less to carbon emissions.

This shift will invariably result in the loss of aircraft that, despite their historic value, do not fit the emerging market paradigm.
