During the initial 747-8 marketing phase, Boeing also proposed creating a revenue-generating "SkyLoft" passenger facility in the crown space. This facility would include "SkySuites", small individual compartments with sliding doors or curtains, featuring beds, seating, and entertainment or business equipment. A common lounge area could also be provided. Boeing also proposed smaller, more modest "SkyBunks". Access to the crown area would be via a separate stairway at the rear of the aircraft. Passengers using the SkySuites, sold at a premium price, would sit in regular economy class seats for take-off and landing, and move to the crown area during flight. However, pricing feasibility studies found the SkyLoft concept difficult to justify. In 2007, Boeing dropped the SkyLoft concept in favor of upper-deck galley storage options, which were favored by the airlines. Outfitting the crown space for sleeping remains an option on VIP aircraft. Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental (wallpaper 4). Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental aircraft images wallpaper gallery 4.

The first order for the 747-8 Intercontinental was placed by an undisclosed VIP customer in May 2006, widely believed to be a Middle Eastern head of state. Lufthansa became the first airline to order the 747-8 Intercontinental on December 6, 2006. In December 2009, Korean Air announced the order of five 747-8Is. Boeing announced on May 8, 2010, that the company had begun final assembly of the first 747-8I. Boeing stated firm configuration for the -8I was reached in November 2007. Major assembly of the -8I began on May 8, 2010. The final body join occurred on October 15, 2010, slightly ahead of the projected schedule, and the first flight was predicted to occur within seven months. Two 747-8I aircraft are planned to take part in the 747-8I flight test program. Assembly of the first 747-8I was completed in February 2011. It was unveiled during a rollout ceremony in Everett, Washington on February 13, 2011. Deliveries are to begin in late 2011. On March 7, 2011, it was announced that Air China had agreed to purchase five 747-8Is, subject to government approval, at a price of $1.54 billion. Air China said it would use the aircraft to increase international service. Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental (wallpaper 4). Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental aircraft images wallpaper gallery 4.

The passenger version, named 747-8 Intercontinental or 747-8I was launched on November 14, 2005. The aircraft will be capable of carrying up to 467 passengers in a 3-class configuration over 8,000 nmi (15,000 km) at Mach 0.855. The 747-8I will carry 51 more passengers and two more freight pallets with 26% more cargo volume than the 747-400. Despite initial plans for a shorter stretch than the freighter model, the two variants will be the same length, increasing passenger capacity and allowing easier modification of the 747-8I to freighter use. The upper deck will be lengthened on the -8I. Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental (wallpaper 3). Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental aircraft images wallpaper gallery 3. Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental airplane pictures collection 3. New engine technology and aerodynamic modifications will allow longer range. Boeing has stated that compared to the 747-400, the -8I will be 30% quieter, 16% more fuel-efficient, and have 13% lower seat-mile costs with nearly the same cost per trip. For the 747-8, Boeing has proposed some changes to the interior layout of the aircraft. Most noticeable will be the curved stairway to the upper deck and a more spacious main passenger entrance. The 747-8's main cabin uses an interior similar to that of the 787. Overhead bins are curved, and the center row is designed to look as though it is attached to the curved ceiling, rather than integrated into the ceiling's curve like on the 777. The windows will also be of similar size to the type used on the 777, which are 8% larger than those on the current 747-400s. The 747-8 will feature a new solid-state light-emitting diode (LED) lighting system, which can create mood lighting. LED technology also offers improved reliability and lower maintenance costs.

The 747-8 VIP variant of the 747-8 intercontinental passenger aircraft was first announced in October 2006, although a contract was placed months earlier by the launch customer, the government of Qatar, in May 2006. By December 2009, orders had been placed for 74 freighters for: launch customer Cargolux based in Luxembourg (13 aircraft), Cathay Pacific (ten), Dubai Aerospace (15), Nippon Cargo Airlines (14), Atlas Air (12), Korean Air (five) and Volga-Dnepr (five). In January 2011, Guggenheim Aviation Partners cancelled its order for four Boeing 747-8 freighters due to delay in deliveries. The forward production plans involve ramping down to completion and final production of the 747-400 series and the simultaneous ramping up of 747-8 production.

Delivery of the final 747-400 was in early 2009. The aircraft will be able to operate from about 200 airports worldwide for hub-to-hub and hub-to-point operations. The 14,815km (8,000nm) range allows direct connection between nearly every major city pair airports in the world, for example New York and Hong Kong, Los Angeles and Mumbai, London and Singapore. The aircraft uses the same pilot type ratings as the 747, many existing 747 spares, services and the majority of the ground support equipment. Boeing reports the seat-mile cost of the 747-8 intercontinental is 10% lower and 15% more fuel efficient compared to the 747-400, with nearly equivalent trip costs. Both versions of the 747-8 meet the stage 4 standard and the QC2 standard noise. Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental (wallpaper 2). Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental aircraft images wallpaper gallery 2.

Boeing's new 747-8 family of aircraft includes the 747-8 intercontinental in passenger and VIP variants and the 747-8 freighter aircraft. 107 orders for Boeing 747-8 intercontinental and Boeing 747-8 freighter aircraft were received as of December 2009. The aircraft uses many of the technologies developed for the 787 Dreamliner, including the engines, interior configuration, flight deck technologies and instrumentation and wing configuration. These provide significant increases in passenger and freighter capabilities, improved fuel efficiency, reduced noise and emissions and improved operating economics. The first flight of the 747-8 freighter was completed in February 2010. Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental (wallpaper 1). Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental aircraft images wallpaper gallery 1. Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental airplane pictures collection 1. The maiden flight of the 747-8 intercontinental is scheduled to take place in early 2011. Boeing launched the 747-8 programme in November 2005. Wind tunnel tests and load tests were started in 2006. In November 2008, Boeing announced delays to the delivery schedule with delivery of the first freighter variant moved from late 2009 to the third quarter of 2010 and delivery of the Intercontinental passenger variant moved from late 2010 to the second quarter of 2011. However, in October 2009, Boeing announced another delay, setting the delivery back to the fourth quarter of 2010 for freighter aircraft and fourth quarter of 2011 for intercontinental version aircraft. In September 2010, delivery of the Boeing 747-8 freighter was further postponed to mid 2011. The first 747-8 Intercontinental was rolled out in February 2011 at Boeing's factory in Everett, Washington. By December 2009, orders had been placed for 33 747-8 intercontinental passenger aircraft including 20 (plus 20 options) for Lufthansa, five from Korean Airlines and eight from Boeing Business Jet for conversion to the 747-8 VIP variant.
