The Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental
747-8 Freighter
Boeing launched the new 747-8 family—Freighter
and Intercontinental—in late 2005. The airplanes
feature the newest wing and engine combination
in the industry today, an updated flight deck,
longer fuselage and new advanced structural
materials. The 747-8 Freighter was certified
in August 2011, and first delivery followed in
October. The Freighter carries 16 percent more
cargo volume than the 747-400 Freighter and
is the industry’s only nose-cargo-loading jet.
The 747-8 Intercontinental is offered as either
a BBJ aircraft or as a passenger plane. The
passenger plane has an interior inspired by the
787 Dreamliner, including sculpted ceiling, LED
dynamic lighting, larger bins and a new staircase
design. The Intercontinental was certified in 2011,
and first delivery was in February 2012. The
Intercontinental is 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). Both the passenger and freighter
variants of the 747-8 have an increased maximum
takeoff weight of 447,700 kilograms (987,000
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.

777-300ER

With its wide fuselage, generous stowage and

777’s long range (up to 9,290 nautical miles or
17,205 kilometers) and large payload capability
(301 to 386 passengers in a typical three-class
configuration) give operators access to the
world’s fastest-growing passenger markets.
The 777 Freighter with 102 metric tons (112 tons)
of revenue payload capability is the largest and
longest-range twin-engine freighter and has
the lowest trip costs of any large freighter.

costs of any twin-aisle airplane in service. The
767-300ER, which is 6.4 meters (21 feet) longer
than the original 767-200ER, offers 20 percent
more passenger seating than the 767-200ER
and has a range of almost 6,000 nautical miles.
A freighter version based on the 767-300ER
fuselage is available. Also available is the

The Boeing 737 is the world’s best-selling family
of commercial jetliners. Today’s Next-Generation
737-700, -800 and -900ER models incorporate
the latest advanced technology and design
features that improve fuel efficiency and reduce
operating costs while delivering superior pas-
senger satisfaction. The Next-Generation 737
offers the best on-time schedule performance in
the industry. It spans the entire 126- to 220-seat
market with ranges of approximately 3,000 nauti-
cal miles. This flexibility gives operators the ability
to respond effectively to market needs. The 737
family also includes four business jets—BBJs—
derivatives of the Next-Generation 737-700,
737-700 Convertible, 737-800 and 737-900ER.
Launched as a formal program in August 2011,
the 737 MAX is a family of airplanes that builds
on the strengths of the Next-Generation 737. The
737 MAX will deliver significant fuel savings and
an 8 percent advantage in operating costs over
future competitors in its category, resulting from
new CFM International LEAP-1B engines, a more
efficient structural design and lower maintenance
requirements. Every 737 MAX will be fitted with
the all-new 737 Boeing Sky Interior, giving pas-
sengers a more spacious cabin, overhead bins
that disappear into the ceiling while carrying
more luggage, and soothing LED lighting. Since
its launch, the 737 MAX has logged more than
1,000 orders from airlines and leasing customers
worldwide. First flight is planned for 2016 and first
delivery in 2017.
