In 1991, Royal Airways converted a number of 747-200s into 747-200CFs, and formed Royal Airways Cargo, a new airfreight division. G-TRQG, the first 747-200 to be converted, is shown here. Royal Airways formed the OneSky Alliance (together with Global Airlines and SOPAS) in 1993, so G-AFBD - an A300 - is shown here with OneSky stickers by the boarding doors. All A300s would leave the fleet by 1994 (in fact, G-AFBD was the last to be retired), but the final cabin configuration they flew in is shown below. With 12 First Class seats, 49 Empire Class, and 156 Tourist Class, Royal Airways' A300s were operated on premium European routes (like Paris) and lower-demand medium/long-haul routes (like Abu Dhabi).
