It is the biggest commercial plane ever to take off and fly powered by electricity alone. Recent upgrades further reduce costs and boost revenue, and the 777's flying. And the 777-300ER now gives operators a perfect opportunity to extend that success. The last US airline to use the 747 for passenger flights was Delta in 2017, but many international carriers, including Lufthansa, continue to fly the jumbo jet.

The ‘queen of the skies’ took on numerous roles during its lifespan, including commercial, cargo and, of course, the Air Force One presidential aircraft. ![]() An aircraft that first flew in 1969, and saw 1574 built at the same location in Washington, reached the end of its shelf-life this week, the final Boeing 747 (LN 1574) leaving the Everett factory. ![]()
