747-8i

a poster mentioned rumour the A380 fleet reducing possibly to 10 iso 12 and that the 747-8i was a flop

it's not a flop - in sales yes but in-service no - fuel burn is better than expected and it takes more cargo then an A380
pax love it coz its still a jumbo
LH are the only western pax carrier to have it and its doing well with them...

i am so surprised that Boeing did not offer amazing deals to the likes of BA plus VS QF SAA ANZ AF and other old Boeing legacy carriers to roll over their 744's for 747-8i
