Here’s How Much More Expensive The Boeing 747 Is Compared To The 787

The introduction of the first widebody aircraft, the Boeing 747, in the late 1960s was one of the most definitive achievements in the commercial aviation industry. Before this aircraft was introduced, long-haul travel was constrained by small cabins and limited passenger capacity. However, after the 747 was introduced, global air travel was drastically changed, as airlines could afford to make intercontinental flights more accessible, reliable, and economical. The 747 quickly became a symbol of mass air transportation and set a new standard for long-haul travel among airlines.
