The economics of very large planes just isn't really viable anymore. It is more profitable now to get smaller, very efficient planes to fly direct rather than having a hub model where small planes feed 1 big plane at a major airport which then flies to another big airport to feed a bunch of small planes.

Yep the passenger version of the 747 has been out of production for years except for one-offs like the new versions of AF1.
