The Boeing 747-Adv

[lastrow]

I actually do not quite agree with the idea that 342/342 are so much unattractive. somehow there must be reason (which I dont know) for eg. Olympic or Swiss to have them in their fleet rather than a 777. I guess it is pretty much like flyingblueboy said: for each plane has some perfect fit for some airlines. Reminds me of the A300-600 about which I have read that Lufthansa would love to have a successor for. Could it be that the price (for buying them) represents another point?

Tnx buddy !

i quite like 4 engines planes too...

Seems Boeing finally did it !

Meanwhile A320 is a golden mine, somehow for Tolouse...

Wouldn't a 4-engine plane be quieter inside than the same plane would be with 2 engines? Because the 4-engine plane uses smaller engines, and the outboard engines are further away from the fuselage.

still no companies interested in the passenger version of the 747-8 ?

Not even BA ?

Give them some time...

I Think the will... specially the boeing oriented..

then also depends how the A380 will perform and if the schedule will be respected..

CX, BA, KL but maybe QF, SIA, some of the americans.. once they workout where to find the money...

Specially in the busy airports will be a good option and easier to accomodate without airports upgrades necessary...
