Boeing Co has said it is considering developing a jet capable of carrying as
many as 800 passengers, pitting the world's largest planemaker against
Airbus Industries in the market for `superjumbo' jets.
The company plans to either invest $3 billion to build a 550- seat version
of its 747, the world's largest passenger plane, or develop an even larger
jet from scratch
