Oct 19, 2006 Boeing The 747-8 Intercontinental will now seat 467 people, up from 450 in the previous design, Randy Baseler, vice president of marketing for Boeing Commercial Airplanes Boeing Commercial Airplanes is a unit of The Boeing Company, based in Renton, Washington consisting of the Seattle-based former Boeing Airplane Company (the civil airliner division), as well as the Long Beach-based Douglas Aircraft division of the former McDonnell Douglas , said in a recent Web log posting. The passenger version is now expected to be 250 feet, 8 inches, the same length as the freighter version of the new airplane. The current 747-400 model seats 416 people. The new 747 is still a far cry from the A380, which can seat 550 people in a typical three-class configuration. But the move narrows the gap between the two and could help Boeing attract more customers. Baseler said in his Web posting that the company is still aiming for customers wishing to replace older 747s. Chicago-based Boeing has seen interest in the freighter version of its new 747, but no airline has ordered the passenger version of the airplane. Airlines will begin receiving the new 747 freighters in late 2009, and the passenger version isn't expected to be delivered until 2010. The A380, which has yet to enter service, is facing significant delays that have led to major upheaval at Airbus. http://www.newairplane.com/747/ Oct 19, 2006 Boeing Boeing said that global air cargo air cargo: see aviation. traffic growth is expected to average 6.1 percent over the next 20 years, according to according to prep. 1.
