ATLANTA, Ga. - A brand new superjet landed at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport on Friday afternoon. The Boeing 747-800 made its certification flight to Atlanta.
Engineers say the freight plane can carry more cargo than the average 747. It’s expected to give airlines a 20-percent reduction in fuel costs.
Cargolux, Korean Airlines, British Airways, and Cathay Pacific Airways are all expected to use the superjet when it is delivered later this year.
