According to capital.gr, the plane’s debut will be on June 18. It is the largest aircraft ever produced by Boeing and the longest passenger aircraft in the world now in production.
This aircraft is brand new and will reach the Athens International Airport for its first – inaugural – landing before the beginning of its regular flights, completing the existing fleet of B747-8 aircrafts that have been already launched by Lufthansa on long routes.
B747-8 is an upgraded and longer version of the classic, legendary 747. Its spacious cabin has a capacity of 358 passengers -in comparison to Boeing΄s standard capacity of 467 passengers- with eight seats in First-Class, 92 in Business Class and 258 in Economy Class.
