Why is there a photo of a Boeing 747 attached to an article about new orders for Boeing aircraft?
Order's for the 747 have virtually dried up over the past few years.
It's the 787 and 777 that have put Boeing back on top.

The Dreamliner's range, internal goodies, passenger friendlieness, and airport readieness, appear to be just the thing that these State owned airlines and airports appear to be looking for.
Airbus designed A380 in the nineties during an era of relatively cheap fuel. Dreamliner is being ORDERED during an era when China's appetite for petrol is driving up prices all along the spectrum of fuels, including jet fuel mixtures.
I suspect Airbus has gambled poorly, and we are seeing the results.

Yeah, great news. Their planes will fly here, drop off their college grads, and fly away.
Meanwhile our college grads sit at home playing xbox games and quoting Satre.

Apparently Air India just got a 747-400 second hand from Air Canada after a normally scheduled D check. I really have no idea why the
New York Times ran that picture except that it is a Boeing aircraft with Air India's livery.
