WOW - That's great news for the 747-8 program!

Oooh that is fantastic news! I had always hoped another airline would follow LH and buy the 747-8I. It looks to be a superb aircraft, even if it isn't the biggest.
Cannot wait to see it [ and fly it ]

Ditto those comments.

Will definity fly 747-8 with any airlines when it is in service.

it not might hold as much as the a380 but it will still look alot better
