Prolly Boeing wants a piece of pie in that segment, looking at the order list for Airbus. Anyway, major airports are being upgraded to accomodate 380's, and those can also accomodate 797.
The question is how economical this bird would be, and how much money they are going to spend on this bird. I heard that Airbus didnt really make that much money on 380, but may be it helps them not to layoff their workers.
