Hot off the presses from our team at Asian Aerospace 2011 in Hong Kong. Air China has become the third airline operator of the 747-8 Intercontinental joining Lufthansa and Korean Air. The Chinese flag carrier has ordered five of the type, raising the backlog to 38 unfilled aircraft. Boeing has specifically marketed the new jumbo to Asian operators with its "sunrise" colors which will fly on its first aircraft later this spring.
