United Airlines Prepares To Reintroduce 787 Flights

Domestic Flights Begin This Month And International Flights In June

United Airlines is preparing to reintroduce Boeing 787 Dreamliner flights, bringing back the world's most advanced and efficient aircraft on domestic and international routes.

"Our customers responded extremely well when we introduced the 787, and we know they'll welcome it back," said Pete McDonald, United's chief operations officer. "Boeing and the FAA were diligent in their work to fix the battery issue, and now the Dreamliner is poised to fly the missions we planned and provide our customers with the features and reliability they want on their long-haul flights."

Boeing already converted two of United's six Dreamliners to the new FAA standards and will soon convert the remainder of United's fleet. The airline has scheduled flights to begin on May 20 on routes from Houston to other domestic hubs. United will begin international 787 flying on the Denver-Tokyo route on June 10.

United is the only U.S. carrier to have taken delivery of Boeing's new airplane.
