First 787 Dreamliner To Enter Onto Service Sees Daylight
The first Boeing 787 Dreamliner that will enter into service
with launch customer ANA rolled out of the paint hangar this
weekend. The airplane reportedly bears a special livery 'signifying
the core element's of ANA's service brand – innovation,
uniqueness and the inspiration of Japan.'
"Our teams are making outstanding progress in completing the
first airplane to be delivered and achieving certification of the
787," said Scott Fancher, vice president and general manager of the
787 program. "We are inspired by the airline's enthusiasm for this
airplane and look forward to the day when we make our first
delivery to ANA."
ANA's first 787 features a short-haul international interior design
with business- and economy-class cabins.
"ANA's passengers will be the first to experience the 787
Dreamliner's comfortable interior environment," said Mitsuo
Morimoto, ANA senior executive vice president and member of the
board of directors. "Combined with ANA's superior levels of
service, passengers will enjoy a spacious interior, larger windows,
comfortable seats and touch-panel in-flight entertainment
screens."
Some of the most innovative technologies aboard the 787 aren't
visible, but will help passengers have a more pleasant and
comfortable flight. Passengers will arrive at their destinations
feeling more refreshed with the airplane's cleaner cabin air, lower
cabin altitude and higher humidity.
Boeing plans to deliver the first 787
to ANA in September. ANA will operate its first 787 revenue flight
as a charter international flight from Tokyo to Hong Kong.
