The Boeing 747-400
747-8
Boeing launched the 747-8 program, including the
747-8 Intercontinental passenger airplane and
the 747-8 Freighter, in late 2005. The Freighter
will enter service in late 2009, followed by the
Intercontinental in 2010. The 747-8 will be the
only airplane in the 400- to 500-seat market,
seating 467 passengers in a typical three-class
configuration (51 more than the 747-400). The
Freighter will carry 16 percent more revenue
cargo volume than the 747-400 Freighter, and
will be the industry’s only nose-cargo-loading jet.
Both the passenger and freighter variants of the
747-8 have an increased maximum takeoff
weight of 439,985 kilograms (970,000 pounds)
and represent a new benchmark in fuel efficiency
and noise reduction, allowing airlines to lower fuel
costs and fly into more airports at more times of
the day. Production of the 747-400, primarily the
freighter version, will continue until the 747-8
family enters service in 2009. The 747-8 family
also includes a VIP version, which provides
4,786 square feet of cabin space.

The Boeing 767-200
767-300
767-400
The 767 is the first widebody jetliner to be

the 767-400ER is 6.43 meters (21 feet) longer
than the 767-300. The 767 is the favorite airplane
on Atlantic routes, crossing the Atlantic more
frequently than any other airplane. The 767 has
the lowest operating costs of any existing twin-
aisle airplane. The 767-200 will typically fly 181
to 224 passengers up to 6,600 nautical miles in
its extended-range version. The 767-300, also
offered in an extended-range version, offers

767-200 and has a range of 6,100 nautical miles.
A freighter version of the 767-300 is available.

tions and superior passenger satisfaction. The

The Boeing 787 Boeing is focusing its new airplane development
efforts on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, a super-
efficient commercial airplane that applies the
latest technologies in aerospace. The airplane
will carry 200 to 300 passengers and fly 8,000
to 8,800 nautical miles, while providing dramatic
savings in fuel use and operating costs. Its
exceptional performance will come from improve-
ments in engine technology, aerodynamics,
materials and systems. It will be the most
advanced and efficient commercial airplane in its
class and will set new standards for environmen-
tal performance and passenger comfort. The
787 family also includes VIP versions, which pro-
vide more than 2,400 square feet of cabin space
