The Boeing 747-(8?), now has nine
lives. For more unidentified orders were placed and one can assume it's from
one customer who may have a penchant for freight. However, an unannounced
caveat could suggest a commercial passenger intrigue holding some reservations
for the imagination. The venerable 747-8 is out pacing Airbus in orders for the
class of behemoth type orders during 2016. No A380's are yet told. The onset of
the 777-9X is the death of the Euro Jumbo as the 747 seeks its own niche before
customers stop looking for a way for making large frame money.
The 747
has significantly tapped the freight genre for staying alive. So I will assume
it was a freight order, as the A380 won't be a freight hauler loading space shuttle
like freight consignments which goes to the Queen of the skies. A shock would be a
passenger order for this type. But Boeing needs 747-8's like a glass of water
is needed on the Sahara. Simile and metaphors alone can't revive the 747
program but every order from this point forward is a program shock to its
heart. The A380 flat line is pending which is not a good sine wave for any
program.
