The First Class and Business Class sections of the 747-8 enable airlines to offer passengers the most private and premium accommodations in the sky. So it’s no surprise that on high-volume routes the 747-8 offers premium revenue potential. And with more than 400 seats available, this 747 creates a unique opportunity to maximize the bottom-line potential of any high-volume route. It’s premium value, delivered, for operators and passengers. That’s a better way to fly.

The 747-8 extensively incorporates new generation aluminum alloys—the same as those on the 777—and graphite composites in the flaps, spoilers, nacelles, and rudder. The materials are more durable and better able to resist corrosion and damage, which reduces maintenance and increases the time an airplane is available and productive. They’re also lighter, which helps minimize airplane weight. A lighter aircraft is more efficient, consumes less fuel, costs less to maintain, and is subject to lower weight-based navigation and landing fees.
