Korean Air retires its last Boeing 747 in March 2025, reflecting a global decline in the aircraft's use.

Korean Air will retire its last Boeing 747 on its longest US route in March 2025, replacing it with the more fuel-efficient Boeing 777-300ER. Globally, the use of 747s is declining, with only four airlines expected to operate the aircraft by 2025, marking a 75% decrease since 2019. The shift is driven by the 747's high operating costs and inefficiency compared to newer widebody planes.
