Boeing 787, fondly called the ‘Dreamliner’, the highly advanced traveller plane will be added to the fleet of Air India by the end of this year. Air India had ordered for 27 such air-planes in 2005, out of which 4 may be supplied in this year, 2011.
‘Dreamliner’ can seat 250 passengers and can fly non-stop up to 16,000 kms. It means that non-stop flight to North America, Australia etc. from India.
I wish and hope that Air India will utilise the opportunity full and benefit out of the new fleet.
