ANA Got Its First Dreamliner September 25, 2011

It's hard to believe that the Dreamliner has already been flying for airlines for a year, but Tuesday marked the one year anniversary of the first delivery of the first Boeing 787 Dreamliner to ANA in Japan. Since then, Boeing has delivered 25 Dreamliners to six different customers.

"One year ago today we reached a significant milestone in Boeing and ANA's partnership," said Ray Conner, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "We are grateful for the support and confidence that ANA has placed in Boeing as the launch customer of the 787 Dreamliner."

"ANA has helped validate the airplane as truly game-changing," said Conner.  "All of our 787 customers have been an integral part of making the 787 a success. We are committed to each of them as they put the Dreamliner into service."

Thousands of Boeing employees and dignitaries celebrated the historic delivery in a ceremony that highlighted the pride and dedication of the team that created the airplane and the cooperation and support of the airline.
