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:
If true, they should get 1 748 absolutely free. The scale model of course, for promotional purposes. :D
ReplyDeleteI wish this dream comes true !!!
ReplyDeleteMay we know a little bit more .
ReplyDeleteDoes EK intend to replace some A380 by 747-8i ?
On which sectors do they want to deploy this aircraft ?
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.
Delete2/8/2010 -> exactly five years ago 747-8 was airborne for its first flight
