A Boeing 787 Dreamliner made its India debut on
Wednesday, landing at New Delhi International Airport at 11:09
a.m. from Tokyo.
Air India is one of the early customers and has
ordered 27 787s. Jet Airways also has ordered 10 Dreamliners.
The airplane
will depart for Mumbai Airport in the evening of 15 July and
will fly back to Seattle on the morning of 16 July 2011.
The 787
Dreamliner is built by an international team and will provide
airlines around the globe with around a 20% reduction in fuel use when compared
to similar-sized airplanes.
The 787 will also feature bigger windows and more
personal space as well as an environment designed to help them
arrive at their destinations feeling more refreshed.
