Boeing 747-8

Boeing

The First Class and Business Class sections of the 747-8 enable airlines to offer passengers the most private and premium accommodations in the sky. So it’s no surprise that on high-volume routes the 747-8 offers premium revenue potential. And with more than 400 seats available, this new 747 creates a unique opportunity to maximize the bottom-line potential of any high-volume route. It’s premium value, delivered, for operators and passengers. That’s a better way to fly.

High-volume routes demand high-value returns.

747-8 was destined to be the first extended 747 to reach production stage. The 747-8 and the reduced 747SP are the only modifications to the 747 Series with the modified fuselage. The 747-8 had to use the same engines and cab layout as the Boeing 787, including General Electric GEnx turbofan and partially fly-by-wire digital control. Boeing said the new design would be quieter, more economical, and more environmentally friendly than previous 747 versions. Boeing confirmed the 747-8F configuration in October 2006
