Most recently I have been browsing the website of The Boeing Company (to be exact: newairplanes.com) and on the celebration page of the delivery of the 1st 787 Dreamliner to Japan Airlines I have discovered a very interesting picture (it was not difficult): it ethernized the delivery of the 100th Boeing 747 to JAL - as part of the glorious history of the cooperation of the 2 companies...
This was still unbelievable to me... O.k., in the past there were no Boeing 777 and Airbus A380 competing with the Boeing 747... But 100 large airplanes is an immense number... When Emirates rounded up their order for the Airbus A380 to 90 machines I thought that it was kind of a day-dream - but I was wrong because there were already orders for airliners in such a volume...
So I don't know what there is now... Either the global aviation market has shrunk significantly so that there is practically no more interest for the Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental or the Jumbo Jet of Boeing has become awkward and is banned from the most elite society of airplanes... However if the previously sold members of the Boeing 747 Family are replaced only at some part by new Jumbo Jets then The Boeing Company can expect at least 500 official orders from the renommed national airlines for the Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental...
Best wishes, Joseph de la Mikula and Team
