Why Boeing Stopped Building the 747 After 54 Years

Why did Boeing stop building the 747 after 54 years? This aviation documentary explores how the Queen of the Skies transformed air travel before more efficient twin-engine aircraft brought its production run to an end. On January 31, 2023, Boeing delivered the final 747-8F to Atlas Air. It was the 1,574th Boeing 747 produced, closing one of the longest and most influential programmes in commercial aviation. From Pan Am’s original gamble and the success of the 747-400 to ETOPS rules, the Boeing 777 and the 747-8’s struggle for passenger orders, discover why the world’s most recognisable jumbo jet could no longer justify its place on the assembly line.
