Isn’t there any good Boeing news or bad Airbus news so this blog can see some updates?

isn’t the revised schedule on track by definition…

Oh no, there’s the short time between the admittance of a schedule slip and the implementation of a schedule revision…

ikkeman - I think/guess that Ed was referring to that revised schedule being on track rather than the previous one

I do believe their schedule already slipped from H2 2010 to Q2 2011

QF/SQ have ruled out the 747-8I too many times to recall.

Howver, the 747-8F (or 77f) would make very good sense at SQ.

I am happy to see the B-747-8F and -8I programs are still on schedule. I believe there are some 28 orders for the B-747-8I, 20 for LH and 8 for the BBJ program.

LH still holds 20 more B-747-8I options, and have until 2013 to exercise them.

Currently, I believe there are some 105 total orders for the B-747-8, 28 for the “I” and 77 for the “F”. The B-747-8F/I program has sold about half of the total sales of the A-380-800, in 1/3 of the program time (3 years vs. 12 years). Keesje is not going to be happy.

With a possible future USAF order of 3 B-747-8Is to replace the current 2 VC-25As, and another 12-24 B-747-8Fs for the AL-1A program Including replacing the current YAL-1A prototype, a B-747-400F model). this program is beginning to take shape.

Additional future orders would come from current B-747-400/F/ER/ERF operators, including NH, JL, UA, DL (NW), BA, AF, QF, NZ, SQ, CX, UPS, LH, as well as others.

“Wait for Keesje - he’ll cancel it in one fell swoop as he did with the 787-3.”

Lol..that was my first thought as well..

“I sure hope this is a non cancellable vaildation of the order.”

Wait for Keesje - he’ll cancel it in one fell swoop as he did with the 787-3.
