The Boeing (NYSE: BA) 747 will soon make its farewell at airline giant United Continental (NYSE: UAL).
United Airlines has been flying one version or another of Boeing’s iconic jumbo jet since 1970. However, United’s management recently decided to accelerate the retirement of the carrier’s remaining 747s for the second time in less than a year. As a result, the last 747 will depart United’s fleet by the end of 2017.
