Are there any Boeing 707 jets still in passenger service?

Question

In the world anywhere?

Answer 1

John Travolta's plane is a 707. So is Donald Trump's, and Hugh Hefner's.

As for passenger service, not in the US, but other non-US carriers still fly it.

Current operators (as of August 2006) of the Boeing 707 include: African Airlines International (4), Angola Air Charter (3), Hewa Bora Airways (3), Libyan Arab Airlines (4), Iran Air (5), Sky Aviation (3), BETA Cargo (4), Saha Airlines (4) and Skymaster Airlines (5). Some 21 other airlines operate smaller numbers of the type.

Nobody I'd want to fly on!!!!!!!! The US military still also uses the 707.

Answer 2

A little cut and paste for ya: Although 707s are no longer employed by major US airlines, many can still be found in service with smaller non-US airlines, charter services and air cargo operations. The first two aircraft built to serve as Air Force One were custom-built Boeing 707s; these were also used by high-ranking federal officials on official trips. Many other countries use the 707 as a VIP transport, including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, the Republic of Congo, Egypt, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Libya, Morocco, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, and Venezuela. The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) operated a number of 707's that were specially modified for VIP use before replacing them with modified 737's. The U.S. and other NATO-aligned countries, as well as South Africa and Israel, have used the 707 platform for aerial refueling (KC-135) and AWACS (E-3 Sentry), although many of these aircraft are now being phased out. The Royal Australian Air force (RAAF) operates 707's as refuellers for Australia's FA/18 Hornets; these are soon to be replaced by Airbus A330 MRTT's. The 707 is also the platform for the United States Air Force's Joint STARS project, and the United States Navy's E-6 Mercury. And John Travolta owns and flies an ex-Qantas 707-138.

Answer 3

Yes, I know that SAHA airlines (run by the Iranian Air Force) still operated B707 for passenger service. Also, LADE - Lineas Aereas Del Estado, airline run by the Argentine Air Force with B707 to places that commercial airlines of Argentina doesn't fly in. However according to the source of wikipedia, their 707s are grounded until 2007, so I don't know if it is temporary grounded for the season or the airline is in the process of retiring the aircraft with jet fuel costing so much.

Answer 4

"Although 707s are no longer employed by major US airlines, many can still be found in service with smaller non-US airlines, charter services and air cargo operations. Use of 707s on US cargo routes has declined in recent years because the now-obsolescent engines used on many 707s remaining in service are far too loud to meet noise restrictions at many US civil airports."

Answer 5
