When I was on the Boeing Factory tour in Everett, WA a few years ago, I saw the Cathay Pacific Logo going on a 747-8i and I was OVERLY excited, until I found out it was for a FREIGHTER not commercial aircraft!
@andylam736 жыл бұрын
but it is very easy to tell it is a 747-8i or a 747-8 freighter. a freighter has a much shorter upper deck than an 747-8i. you spoiled my dream of flying on 747-8i with cx.

I like the A380 but I could never forget the 747 :) Its just a amazing aircraft, its taken me all around the world my whole life! I would hate for the 747 to go away, I hope in the coming versions its still got the main design as the 747-400, and not just having 2 levels like the a380 :.)

I wish Cathay Pacific will buy any Boeing 747-8i for passengers in the nearly future. The pilots would have experience for the new 747-8i from the 747-8f and also from the older 747-400. I would be happy, if one of my favourite Airlines would buy one of my favourite Aircraft.

it is because cx had invested heavily on 777. they bought only the 747-8 for cargo but not passengers. without the 747-8i i really dont see cx as a big airline in the region. now even that shity air china is flying the 747-8i. really kind of sad. i love cx since kid and actually my first flight as kid was onboard cx. my passion with her is almost half gone by now.

Ikr? I think the 777-300ER is a beautiful plane, it isn't that bad at all tbh but I personally think the 747 is even better, better than the A380 of course but unfortunately as off August this year only 3 airlines have bought the pax version and another one which is Transaero is expected to join that list becoming the 4th operator of the Pax version by the end of the year.

you are delighted to be the first Asia Pacific airline to take delivery of the Boeing 747-8 Freighters. but all passengers are disappointed that u are not flying them with the 4 engines 747-8i. instead u picked the small twin engine 777x. flying with 2 engines always is not as safe as with 4 engines. the passenger demand is there and per passenger cost 747-8i always is lower than other boeing's plane. cx has made a very very very serious this time.

cathay pacific always is my favourite airline. whenever i am flying home i will pick cx. then i heard that cx has bought 747-8 freighter. then i thought cx will be flying her passengers in the 747-8i very soon. but i am so disappointed that they have chosen 777x instead. such a decision clearly showing that cx cares lot more the safety of the cargo then passenger and that's why they dont pick the 747-8i to fly her passenger. very very disappointed. all other airlines have this ugly piggy a380 to attract the passenger. but now cx has got nothing big and flying with 4 engines to impress and attract passengers. hard to understand why cx will have picked 777x this tiny plane with 2 engines. when comes to safety, flying with 4 engines and 18 wheels always is 10000000000000000000 time safer than flying with twin engine. how can such a tiny plane is able to make a good impression showing her passenger that cx indeed is a great airline. with all these tiny planes cathay pacific now is a tiny airline flying tiny planes. all my friends are saying the same thing regarding such a poor decision made by cx. all my friends are as disappointed as me. seems the great cathay pacific is half gone by now.
