Its main hubs are Tokyo's Narita International Airport and Haneda Airport, as well as Osaka's Kansai International Airport and Itami Airport.

A few early -200s retained the three-window configuration of the -100 on the upper deck, but most were built with a ten-window configuration on each side. The demand for longer range aircraft with increased payload quickly led to the improved -200, which featured more powerful engines, increased MTOW, and greater range than the -100. While the 747-100 powered by Pratt & Whitney JT9D-3A engines offered enough payload and range for medium-haul operations, it was marginal for long-haul route sectors. Freighter variants of the 747 remain popular with cargo airlines. The partial double-deck aircraft was designed with a raised cockpit so it could be converted to a freighter airplane by installing a front cargo door, as it was initially thought that it would eventually be superseded by supersonic transports. It has a pronounced 37.5° wing sweep, allowing a Mach 0.85 (490 kn 900 km/h) cruise speed, and its heavy weight is supported by four main landing gear legs, each with a four-wheel bogie. With a ten-abreast economy seating, it typically accommodates 366 passengers in three travel classes. The 747 is a four-engined jet aircraft, initially powered by Pratt & Whitney JT9D turbofan engines, then General Electric CF6 and Rolls-Royce RB211 engines for the original variants.
The 747 was the first airplane dubbed "Jumbo Jet", the first wide-body airliner. It entered service with Pan Am on January 22, 1970. The first flight took place on February 9, 1969, and the 747 was certified in December of that year. On September 30, 1968, the first 747 was rolled out of the custom-built Everett Plant, the world's largest building by volume. In April 1966, Pan Am ordered 25 Boeing 747-100 aircraft and in late 1966, Pratt & Whitney agreed to develop its JT9D engine, a high-bypass turbofan. In 1965, Joe Sutter left the 737 development program to design the 747, the first twin-aisle airliner.
After introducing the 707 in October 1958, Pan Am wanted a jet 2+1/2 times its size, to reduce its seat cost by 30% to democratize air travel. The Boeing 747 is a large, long-range wide-body airliner designed and manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes in the United States.
