  • Yes, we did get new orders! Yesterday, we enjoyed a day of orders of almost every airplane made by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. We even posted a video about it -- "Boeing racks up orders at Paris Air Show." Thanks for asking.

  • @fishmanMarch61 Not many airlines desiring A380 either. Most of them are replacing their jumbos with 777's, A330's, 787's..etc.

  • Did Boeing abandon the jumbo market or did they underestimate customers' natural proclivity to desire the newest and biggest?

  • boeing make jumbo jet while airbus makes superjumbos

  • 0:56 HA HA HA Captain Kirk

  • This vid showed 90 percent people and maybe ten percent of the aircraft. WTF???

  • if it isn't Boeing I'm not going!

  • One of the major reasons why BA didn't buy this is the the 747-8 doesn't offer RR engines.

  • When are airlines going to start buying this?

  • I would not advise using Gulf Air as your endorsing brand ambassador....they are deeply troubled

  • @Ahuntsicspotter That ain't gonna happen it seems. BA were offered the 747-8 but when they did a comparison, they found the A380 to be the better all round aircraft and more suited for their needs. Their CEO said it was mainly down to buying the aircraft that could increase passenger numbers while operating out of slot restricted airports such as LHR, NAR et al. The 747 is simply too small in terms of cabin space. A380 has 35-40% more room and seats offer greater width & pitch even in economy
