Boeing Delivered The First Dreamliner

Three years after its supposed first commercial use, Boeing finally delivered its much anticipated fuel-saving airplane, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

The first 787 Dreamliner was handed to its first customer, Japan's All Nippon Airways (ANA). And I think ANA deserves an applause as well for their 3 years of waiting patiently. Boeing said in 2007 during the Dreamliner unveiling that the first commercial flight of the Dreamliner for ANA would be in 2008.

During the recent hand-over of the Dreamliner to ANA officials which was held at Boeing's manufacturing plant in Washington, hundreds of Boeing and ANA's employees marched alongside the Dreamliner while it's being moved into the center of the runway.

The 787 Dreamliner is a breakthrough in air travel, as it will allow at least 20% fuel savings, mostly because of its use of composite materials. But it will fly as fast as the other airplanes of its size but with greater comfort and more advanced on board technologies such as the on-board health monitoring system for the airplane which scans the plane for flaws while flying and sends repair maintenance report on ground.

This is truly the first all-new airplane of the 21st century," said Jim Albaugh, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "Thanks for your faith in us, your faith in Boeing....We could not have had a better launch [customer] than ANA."
