The 12 Airlines That Still Operate 4-Engine Passenger Jets

According to data from Planespotters.net, Cirium, ch-aviation, and airline fleet pages, there are now only a little more than a dozen airlines remaining around the world flying quad-engined passenger jets. This excludes aircraft operated by charter airlines (including Atlas Air and this fleet of five Boeing 747-400s) and governments operating quad-jets as VIP or military aircraft. Importantly, it also excludes aircraft operated by cargo airlines, which now operate most of the world’s remaining commercial quadjets.
