  The world's last mass-produced Boeing 747 has been delivered. The aircraft, operated by Apex Logistics International, will fly intercontinental cargo routes from China's Chengdu to North America in the future.

  Boeing 747 is the world's first twin-aisle wide body aircraft, known as the "Queen of the Skies." Boeing began the 747 production in 1967, and announced in 2020 it would end production of the 747.

  The last 747 in mass production, the 747-8 freighter, rolled off the production line at the Boeing Everett Factory in Washington State in December 2022, followed by the official shutdown of the 747 production line.

  The Boeing 747-8 freighter is an all-cargo transport variant of the 747-8 jet aircraft, capable of carrying about 135 metric tons of cargo when fully loaded. Apex Logistics International said that the use of the largest cargo plane is because of the bright future of the international trade market between Chengdu and North America.
