Dreamliner showcase this weekend

Monday, 14 Jul, 2010 0

The long-awaited Boeing 787 Dreamliner will make its debut at the Farnborough Airshow this weekend.

The plane will make its first transatlantic flight when it leaves the US for the show.

Dubbed “the limousine of the skies”, the plane offers passengers more space, wider aisles and seats and a smoother and quieter flight. It is also highly fuel-efficient.

Windows are much bigger than on regular passenger jets and there is a LED lighting system which mimics sunrise and sunset to help passengers acclimatise to new time zones.

TUI is to take delivery of the 787 this year and will be the first UK airline to fly the plane.
 
The lighter plane can cover longer distances in one go and TUI has predicted boosts in interest to destinations such as Borneo, Bali, Hawaii and Mauritius.
