All Nippon Airways Boeing 787 Dreamliner
On the 1st November All Nippon Airways, Japan's largest airline, operated the first regular domestic flight from Haneda to Okayama on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, the world's most advanced airliner.
Built mainly from carbon fiber composite material, the Dreamliner raises the bar for fuel efficiency and passenger comfort. The 787 uses 20% less fuel, meaning it is the first mid-size airplane capable of flying long-range routes while cutting carbon emissions. ANA has ordered 55 Dreamliners from Boeing and has already received two planes, with a total of 20 expected to be delivered by the end of 2012.
The Dreamliner's other innovation include:
- Passenger-friendly cabin air pressure and -the equivalent of an altitude of 6,000 feet, noticeably lower than the 8,000 feet maintained on conventional aircraft.
- Auto-dimming windows - The 787's windows are 30% larger than those on the Boeing 767. A higher eye level means passengers can maintain a view of the horizon throughout the flight while smart glass "auto-dimming" windows use electro-chromatic technology to reduce cabin glare at a touch of a button while allowing passengers to still see outside.
- The overhead compartments are the largest in the industry and have enough space to hold four large-size carry-on bags.
International services on ANA will commence in the following two months with flights initially to Beijing and Frankfurt.
