A mixed dog's body: 744s, 343s, 346s, 772 & 773s (all none ERs), and 333s. The 777 fleet is used for "regional" ops though this can mean all the way from HKG to the middle east with a stop. 333s and 343s are for thinner long haul routes (333s see a lot of Australia and also NZ?)

Anyways, I have heard rumors that CX can potentially be a launch customer for Boeing's proposed B747ADV. Any news on that front? What about the B787, would CX be interested?
Some story has it that CX wouldn't consider a twin, or non-RR powered, a/c for long haul flights. The 747Adv will only come with GE engines.
