The Boeing 787 Dreamliner, the world’s most advanced and fuel-efficient passenger jet whose delivery has been delayed six times since the 2008 deadline, is finally set to fly.
The next-generation plane rolled out of Boeing’s paint hangar at the weekend and is getting the finishing touches before joining the Japanese carrier All Nippon Airways (ANA) next month. Each Dreamliner costs more than $200 million. ANA has the largest order for these planes.“Our teams are making outstanding progress in completing the first airplane to be delivered and achieving certification of the 787,” according to Scott Fancher, Vice-president and General Manager of the 787 programme at Boeing.
