Atlas Air are the biggest operator of Boeing 747's, operating around 50, including four highly modified B747-400LCF Dreamlifters. Most of the fleet comprises of freight aircraft, however, this Boeing 747-400 features a VIP interior featuring 10 first class seats, 143 business class seats and 36 economy seats and is often used for charters for sports teams. Atlas Air also operate a high density Boeing 747-400 which is largely used for military charters. 

The Boeing 747 was once a relatively common sight at Glasgow with Virgin Atlantic examples visiting multiple times a week pre-Covid. During the Covid lockdown two Virgin Atlantic B747 took up residence at Glasgow, awaiting their ultimate retirement, with the last Virign Atlantic B747 (G-VXLG) departing on 21st May 2020. The last B747 to visit was a Republic of Korea Air Force example (10001) during COP26. Sadly, this may well be the last B747 to visit Glasgow.
