Hong Kong: Boeing’s much-awaited 787 carried its first passengers on Wednesday.
The four-hour and 8-minute flight was filled with cheers, picture-taking and swapping of aviation stories.
The new long-haul jet aims to change with the way passengers think about flying with larger windows, improved lighting and air pressure and humidity that closer resembles that on the ground.
It’s not the fastest jet or the largest jet but the plane, nicknamed The Dreamliner by Boeing Corp, is built of lightweight materials that promise to dramatically improve fuel efficiency.
