It is reported that Boeing is set to close down production of the iconic B747 in 2022.
At this moment the backlog consists of fifteen B747-8F, twelve of which are destined for UPS and the other three for Volga-Dnepr. However, these last ones are part of a dispute between Boeing and the Russian cargo company.
Currently the production rate for the B747 is one aircraft per two months, meaning all orders will be fulfilled by 2022.
Several of the suppliers making critical components for the Jumbojet have already announced they are ceasing their production.
