In Decline: Which Airlines Still Fly Passenger Boeing 727s?

The Boeing 727 was a mainstay of many airlines in the 1970s and 1980s. Before the 737 family, the 727 was the US manufacturer’s first super-selling hit, totaling 1,832 examples made between 1962 and 1984. Now, almost 40 years after the production end, only a handful of these aircraft remain in the air, mostly flying for cargo operators and military air forces throughout the world. Interestingly enough, there are more 727s currently in museums displaying their history than in the air.
