All Nippon Airways will take delivery of the first Boeing 787 Dreamliner on September 26.

A statement from the carrier said the aircraft will arrive in Tokyo on September 28.  The first passenger flight of the new aircraft will be a charter between Tokyo and Hong Kong at the end of October.

A spokesman for ANA said the aircraft will offer new standards of comfort and service to passengers and play an important role in its international expansion strategy.

A spokesman for Boeing said the airline marked a new chapter in aviation history.

British Airways and Thomson have placed orders for the Dreamliner, which promises 20% greater fuel efficiency than equivalent aircraft.
