B748 pax?
So was it merely just good timing for Boeing that they were giving presentations on the B747-8 this week to EK management over at EK Engineering?
Heard it was both the freighter AND the passenger ("Interconintental", I think they refer to it as) that was presented in further detail.
Bet Boeing is offering a great deal on them to give the program a real mega boost... just imagine the effect on the A380 if EK cancelled (or more likely) reduced the A380 order and picked up a bunch of pax B748's to go alongside the freighters announced...
would have to check timeframes though, so my thoughts might be a bit array...
