Boeing 787 On Final Approach To YVR

Vancouver International Airport Ushers In The 'Year Of The Dreamliner'

Vancouver International Airport (YVR) ushered in the "Year of the Dreamliner" Wednesday with Japan Airlines' announcement that it will begin Boeing 787 operations on its daily non-stop service between YVR and Tokyo's Narita Airport (NRT) beginning Monday, February 3, 2014. This inaugural will mark the first-ever scheduled arrival of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner to YVR.

"Metro Vancouver's community of aviation enthusiasts – me included – is thrilled to welcome the Dreamliner to YVR," said Craig Richmond, President & CEO, Vancouver Airport Authority. "Japan Airlines has connected travelers between Vancouver and Tokyo since 1968. After 45 years of great history and close to 23,000 flights, we are so pleased to celebrate JAL's next chapter with the latest in aircraft technology."

JAL will introduce the 787-8 Dreamliner to the YVR-NRT route using a phased approach, beginning with one weekly flight on Mondays and extending to its daily flights by March 2014. 

JAL's Dreamliner service is expected to be followed by additional Boeing 787 announcements, as other YVR airlines take delivery of their new aircraft and plan routes and service schedules for the balance of 2014.
