Boeing Business Jet ordered 8. LH ordered 20. KE ordered 5.
Unfortunate that only 32 748i's will be flying. Hopefully more airlines will consider it ordering it.

I agree. I hear a rumors TK is considering to order some 748I. Just a speculating about TK is in negotiations from Boeing or Airbus. They will have decides to choose 748I or A380.
