Having flown on many 747's over the years and enjoyed the experience, it's nice to see that Boeing are looking to carry this aircraft onwards as a competitor to the A380. 747-8 official notification out today from Boeing

Claims it will be 12% more fuel efficient than the A380, 20% lower on trip costs and 6% lower on seat mile costs than the A380 - but still won't carry as many PAX

Would be good to see either in the Virgin livery in the future

Thanks onionz, I will lock this one to avoid duplication.
