Boeing's Buy 99 Get 1 Free Sale

Leeham News reported this morning that Boeing is offering Emirates up to 100 improved 747-8Is. This is really a crazy story, but I love this story and hope it's true. Apparently Boeing is going around the CEO and putting the offer to his boss. Being that it's a rumor, the details are sparse right now. Here's a mock up of what an Emirates 748 might look like:

  1. If true, they should get 1 748 absolutely free. The scale model of course, for promotional purposes. :D

    Does EK intend to replace some A380 by 747-8i ?

    1. This is still heavily in the "rumor" category. I'd love to see it happen, but even I, an unbridled 747 lover, am skeptical that anything will come of this.
