New Bird Is The First Of 32 787s On Order
Boeing and the Lufthansa Group are celebrating the delivery of the first 787 Dreamliner, a 787-9, to Europe's largest airline group at Paine Field, Everett, Wash. The Lufthansa Group has 32 firm orders for the 787 and joins nearly 50 customers worldwide in operating the airframe. Using 25% less fuel and creating 25% fewer emissions than the airplanes they replace, Boeing brags that the 787 family has avoided more than 125 billion pounds of carbon emissions since entering service in 2011.
