CINCINNATI, OH – After an iconic history, the last Boeing 747-8 Freighter has rolled out of the Boeing plant in Everett, Washington. This marks the end of an era for the aviation giant, as the Boeing 747 played an integral part in the development of commercial aviation since its introduction in 1969. The iconic humpback design and revolutionary size of the 747 made it the “Queen of the Skies” and a significant part of the history of air travel.

The last 747-8 Freighter was delivered to cargo carrier Atlas Air in a ceremony at the FEAM Aero hangar the the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. The President & CEO of Atlas Air, John Dietrich, and FEAM Aero leaders, Cam and Fred Murphy, were on hand to receive the legendary airplane and thank all of the employees across the companies that have made this historic milestone possible.

John Dietrich noted that while this is the last of its kind to be delivered, the 747 era is not yet at its end. With proper maintenance and care, this plane can remain in service for 40 or more years.

Bless and honored. Atlas Air has been a partner for us for over thirty years. We've grown up together. So to, have them induct this last aircraft into their fleets and to be here in the FEAM facility and have the team team here helping out, love it. Super excited. Congratulations to Atlas. Wow. That's all I can say. The last few days, it's just been extraordinary. For those of you who have kind of followed our activities over the last few days, we started in Seattle with a just a tremendous celebration, that Boeing hosted, that just really celebrated the seven four seven as history. But also, unfortunately, for us, it celebrated Alice Air, and how fitting was as the world's largest operator of seven four seven aircraft. You know, it was one of the questions I was asked, throughout the last few days. Okay, there are pending production and, you know, does that mean? It's not gonna be in service that long. And what particularly fitting into the maintenance hangar with many of the maintenance closed to know with the proper maintenance this aircraft could build well into forty years. And that's certainly what we're planning for. And to think, this great facility. And our hub location here in Cincinnati, and I saw the construction going on in hangar number two. Fred and and Cam willingly and openly allowed us to take advantage of this great facility to have these events here today. So, Fred, maybe I could turn on these for a few words in want to say thank you. So I just wanna thank everybody who helped make happen, and and congratulations to the Atlas family on this great accomplishment. And and, hopefully, we'll have these airplanes coming in and out of here for HX and routine stuff for a long time. Thank you to everybody.
