Currently, Lufthansa is planning retire their remaining eight Boeing 747-400’s;-all still in excellent condition- as can be expected from Lufthansa.
The Boeing 747-400, being a massive passenger aircraft for long haul services is able to accommodate up to 500 passengers in a two-class configuration plus 30 LD1 containers for freight. Therefore the 747-400 is the prime candidate for CanAm operations.
At high load factors this iconic aircraft operates just as economical as the much newer A340-300, thereby making its introduction into service ingenious especially when the routes become increasingly well booked.
 | Consequentially, CanAm has contacted Lufthansa to negotiating a delivery contract for the last 8 remaining operational Boeing 747-400‘s from Lufthansa as follows: CanAm would actually be most interested in a combined package which woould include professional refurbishment of the aircraft by the renowned Lufthansa Technik AG; technically mostly a C-check- and in some cases the aircraft would require a D-Check. As the arircraft is completely stripped during a D-check, this is the perfect occasion to overhaul of the cabin and repaint the aircraft in the new colorful-on-white CanAm – livrée would take place, -preferrably in cooperation with Lufthansa Technik. This fact would be valuable to use by our marketing in media communications to give the CanAm-aircraft an absolutely safe standing in the trade right from the start. |
Additionally, seasoned Lufthansa Crews and Technicians could be employed by CanAm to operate from the attractive base of Las Palmas – of course only in close cooperation with Lufthansa Management.
