Dreamliner is a reality

Sunday, 28 Sep, 2011 0

Boeing and All Nippon Airways are celebrating the delivery of the first Boeing 787 Dreamliner, more than three years after it was scheduled.

The world's first plastic airliner is due to arrive in Tokyo this morning after leaving from  Everett, Washington yesterday.

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner claims to be the first mid-size airplane capable of flying long-range routes and will allow airlines to open new, non-stop city pairs.

Despite the setbacks, it has been reported that Boeing has received orders for more than 800 Dreamliners from dozens of airlines, including British Airways, Virgin Atlantic and TUI Travel.
