Air China, Korean, Rossiya and Lufthansa as the only "majors" with Rossiya
being grounded due to sanctions after the invasion of Ukraine.
 
Air China . 3 747-4   7 747-8
Korean      4 747-4   9 747-8
Lufthanse   8 747-4  19 747-8
Rossiya     9 747-4 (grounded)
 
There are some charter operations such as Atlas and others but they are not
'majors'. Also an accumulated high number of government planes.
 
54% of all remaining scheduled 747 pax operation are by Lufthansa.
