Boeing Plans First Dreamliner Delivery

BOEING will deliver the first of its much-delayed 787 wide-bodied jets to launch customer All Nippon Airways as early as August, officials said yesterday.

At a joint ceremony at the Paris Air Show, the two companies showcased the new plane - known as the Dreamliner - saying it will allow airlines to open up a number of new long-haul routes.

"Its delivery is planned for August or September this year," said ANA's vice president Shuichi Fujimura.

Developmental problems have delayed the revolutionary new-generation jet's introduction into passenger service by three years. More than 800 have so far been ordered by over 50 airlines.
