"KLM takes the phased-out Boeing 747 out of the stable. The airline, in partnership with Philips, is setting up a cargo airlift to China. Among other things, it can be used to transport medical equipment. From April 13, there will be flown five times a week for a period of six to eight weeks."

We all know that KLM already had plans to continue to fly four 747 Freighters operated by Martinair. And also that passenger flights definitely belong to the past. But we can safely say that, even though the operating costs are high, the Boeing 747 is an irreplaceable aircraft as a freighter! Even without the nose cargo door.
