The Boeing Company is making the final delivery of its iconic 747 widebody aircraft, a marvel of aviation that has graced the skies for more than 50 years and will continue to do so for years to come. The 747 was a pillar of American’s fleet from the early 1970s until the early 1990s.
Thank you 747 for decades of inspiration and pioneering the jumbo jet era, bringing our industry to new heights and supporting the growth of our global network.
The Boeing 747 is an iconic commercial aircraft that first flew in 1969 and has since become one of the most recognizable planes in aviation history. Known as the “Queen of the Skies,” the 747 is a wide-body, four-engine jet airliner that can carry up to 660 passengers over long distances. Its distinctive hump on the upper deck, which houses the cockpit and a lounge area, is one of its most recognizable features.
The 747 has been used for a variety of purposes beyond commercial passenger flights, including as a cargo carrier and even as a presidential transport for the United States government. Its size and versatility have made it a popular choice for airlines around the world, and despite newer planes being introduced, the 747 remains a beloved icon of aviation history.
