There are still three units left Boeing 747 to be delivered, and they will all be destined for Atlas Air, but the company is reinforcing the desire to have these aircraft later this year.
These have a special feeling, as they will be the last Boeing 747 models produced, ending a production that lasted more than 50 years. It will still be possible to see several 747s in operation, mainly by Atlas Air, which is the largest operator of the type in the world.
This year, the US airline has already received one of the four planes originally ordered in 2020, during the height of the pandemic. All the last 747s produced will be the -8F version.
There is an expectation that the last 747 produced in history will be delivered in December of this year.

The first unit of the 'Queen of Heaven' took off on February 9, 1969, and recorded more than 1.570 units produced between the -100, -200, -300, -400 and -8I variants. However, over the years, the Boeing 747 ceased to be a enger plane and began to be operated mainly by cargo operators.
