Boosted by continuing demand and a hefty backlog, Boeing has announced plans to increase 777 production to 8.3 per month in the first quarter of 2013.
The move marks a record rate for the twinjet and comes on the heels of Boeing’s announcement in March to increase 777 production from five to seven aircraft per month in mid-2011. This rate increase, in turn, was brought forward by around nine months, following signs of a strong long-haul market recovery in early 2010.
The 777 has a backlog of more than 250, as well as a large installed operator base with some 907 aircraft in service. Despite the boost to the 777 line Boeing so far shows no sign of changing the scheduled ramp-up rate for the 747-8, the first freighter version of which is due to commence deliveries in mid-2012. As currently planned the company plans to increase the 747 production to two aircraft per month from the initially scheduled 1.5 planes. That increase, announced in March, will take effect in mid-2012 rather than mid-2013.
This is one of the widely used Private Jets model, which allow you to charter quickly and travel will be more safer.
