Adventures of Link: Boeing 787 Takes Seattle
The revolution will be at 35,000 feet, if Boeing Dreamliner has anything to say about it. While we are taking a wait-for-the-August-test-flights approach to this whole 787 craze, there were plenty of airlines that thought Boeing's big bird and pony show was worth a multi-million dollar airplane order check.
Qantas, Air New Zealand, Virgin Atlantic, and All Nippon Airways, who will bet the first to offer 787 commercial service in May 2008 all bought what Boeing was selling.
The plane seats up to 330 passengers and is capable of flying long-haul routes using up to 20% less fuel.
