I just read a brief article on CNN stating that 777s are becoming more
attractive to carriers over the 747s.
Is the industry replacing 747s with 777s? I checked out Boeing's website
and the performance of the two models are pretty much the same except
that the 747-400s can carry about 80 or so more passengers and lift
100,000 more lbs. The range on a 777 exceeds a 747 by a couple of
hundred miles. I know BA is using 777s on its JFK-LHR (transatlantic)
route. Will we be seeing 777s flying transpacific routes in the future?
