We are delighted to be the first Asia Pacific airline to take delivery of the Boeing 747-8 Freighters, with the first arriving in Hong Kong on 1 November 2011.

1. should we tell them its not the biggest freighter?
2. It would be much better if Cathay Pacific ordered the Boeing 747-8i :(
3. but 747-400 alter replaced! order 747-8i!!!
4. Why not 747-8i?
5. Nice. We still have 747-8. Still can see Cathay 747 in the future.
6. When I was on the Boeing Factory tour in Everett, WA a few years ago, I saw the Cathay Pacific Logo going on a 747-8i and I was OVERLY excited, until I found out it was for a FREIGHTER not commercial aircraft!
7. This company will just tell lies. All to easy to make a big profit when you tell the customer one thing and then just goback on it some month later. They cost me 5 London Hong Kong returns. I even when to the head office and all the did was laugh.
8. great flight s
9. what music is this called cause it real good
10. Great video and an incredibly beautiful bird
11. I LOVE
12. why dont you use aircraft like the 747-8i???? the airline would be very popular with that aircraft added to the fleet!
13. 波音董事會正式批准生產波音777系列全新機種，波音為了得到客戶的更多意見，展開了「Working Together」計劃，首次會議於1990年召開，參與者有聯合航空、西北航空、美國航空、國泰航空、日本航空與澳洲航空，協作波音確定新飛機性能。起初Working Together團隊工作並不是很順利，工程師發現要整合多家公司意見並不是一件易事，國泰航空堅持機身橫切面必需等同於747的寬度，在三級艙佈置下能容納325名乘客；聯合航空認為新飛機應有「線傳飛控」技術。不過波音公司花了相當大的心力，合作結果令人滿意，總共有1,500項設計是由團隊作最後定案。省油的777-300ER計劃是由航空提出開發的，波音777-300ER曾在太平洋上進行ETOPS的飛行測試，最長的一次單發動機飛行達6小時29分鐘。
14. 國泰是不會訂購747-8i客機的了。因為沒有777X好，2013年11月Emirates 一口氣訂了150架777X是世界有史以來最大一筆民航機訂單。150架777-9X總值近560億美元.  另外國泰90年代就參加了波音777的開發，給出用家的意見：波音董事會正式批准生產波音777系列全新機種，波音為了得到客戶的更多意見，展開了「Working Together」計劃，首次會議於1990年召開，參與者有聯合航空、西北航空、美國航空、國泰航空、日本航空與澳洲航空，協作波音確定新飛機性能。
15. now even the shity chinese airline and the african airline are flying the 747-8i.  cx is only flying the tiny toy like 777 and called it the hong kong spirit.  sounds more like a joke to me.
16. now only the cargo will be able to enjoy the safety and comfort provided by this beautiful 747-8 freight.  without a380 or 747-8i cx's image has reduced to a tiny airline flying tiny plannes.  i dont love her as much as what i used to.  so disappointed.
17. you are delighted to be the first Asia Pacific airline to take delivery of the Boeing 747-8 Freighters.  but all passengers are disappointed that u are not flying them with the 4 engines 747-8i.  instead u picked the small twin engine 777x.  flying with 2 engines always is not as safe as with 4 engines.  the passenger demand is there and per passenger cost 747-8i always is lower than other boeing's plane.  cx has made a very very very serious this time. 
18. cathay pacific always is my favourite airline.  whenever i am flying home i will pick cx.  then i heard that cx has bought 747-8 freighter.  then i thought cx will be flying her passengers in the 747-8i very soon.  but i am so disappointed that they have chosen 777x instead.  such a decision clearly showing that cx cares lot more the safety of the cargo then passenger and that's why they dont pick the 747-8i to fly her passenger.  very very disappointed.  all other airlines have this ugly piggy a380 to attract the passenger.  but now cx has got nothing big and flying with 4 engines to impress and attract passengers.  hard to understand why cx will have picked 777x this tiny plane with 2 engines.  when comes to safety, flying with 4 engines and 18 wheels always is 10000000000000000000 time safer than flying with twin engine.  how can such a tiny plane is able to make a good impression showing her passenger that cx indeed is a great airline.  with all these tiny planes cathay pacific now is a tiny airline flying tiny planes.  all my friends are saying the same thing regarding such a poor decision made by cx.  all my friends are as disappointed as me.  seems the great cathay pacific is half gone by now. 
19. I wish Cathay Pacific will buy any Boeing 747-8i for passengers in the nearly future. The pilots would have experience for the new 747-8i from the 747-8f and also from the older 747-400.
    
    I would be happy, if one of my favourite Airlines would buy one of my favourite Aircraft.
