All Japan Airways McDonnell Douglas MD-11

All Japan Airways also started delivery of the MD-11 in the early 1990s, around the same time as the 737 classics, 767s and 747-400s. However, while the plane was supposed to replace the DC-10-30 on long haul routes, All Japan Airways was not impressed with the plane's performance. They claimed that the plane was too inefficient for short-haul and long-haul routes, resulting in them canceling the majority of their orders. This marked the end of All Japan Airways' relationship with McDonald Douglas, but none of that really mattered because soon afterwards, the aircraft manufacturer declared bankruptcy. All Japan Airways would operate less than a dozen of these planes before they were all swiftly replaced by the 777-200ER in 1997, with many of them being less than 5 years old at the time.
