Why re 767 or A320? (i'm guessing because they're not recently in the news.)
It's a new aircraft not one 20years in service like your average 767 or A320!
You're right, I meant the 747-8 :)
Wouldn't the 787 also be a valid alternative (the smaller variants)?
A guess, there are a lot of older planes out there in the fleets and the winglets were a later improvement.
Good thing this was built years ago, probably won’t glitch out like Boeing’s other products.
Not even building and exporting widebody aircraft?
Probably a 777. It's smaller, but not by a lot. Plus the current AF1 should be in the air for many years still.
Wow, this could be as successful as Airbus's biggest plane :)
A 31 year old plane. This is more likely a delta issue than Boeing's.
