Air China has taken delivery of its first ever Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft.
The new long-haul jet was officially handed over to the airline in a ceremony in Beijing last week. Air China becomes the fourth Chinese airline to operate the Dreamliner, but the first to receive the larger B787-9 version.
“The 787-9 Dreamliner employs a multitude of cutting-edge technologies best represented by its electronic handling system and wide application of composite materials,” said Captain Wang Yingnian, chief pilot of Air China. “As such, it enjoys clear advantages such as low fuel consumption, low emission and lower noise, which are highly aligned with the green flying idea that Air China has long been an advocate of.
