I was lucky enough to film the European Cargo Airbus A340-600 fleet back in December 2025, just months before the entire fleet was grounded in June 2026. This footage is now a rare look at these majestic quad jets in operation at Bournemouth Airport (BOH).
In this video, l've captured beautiful landings and takeoffs of these unique freighters. A personal highlight for me was filming two of them on the runway at the same time: one aircraft arriving from China and another taxiing out for departure. It is truly the end of an era to see them grounded-this video is now a piece of aviation history.
I hope you enjoy this look back at the European Cargo A340s. Do you have any memories of seeing these aircraft? Let me know in the comments below!
