Pare che arrivi sulla 9R (e il mio ufficio è appollaiato sulla 27L), poi taxing veloce e subito in TBN, hangar ex Bmi per intenderci. A cui non posso accedere perchè le porte sono ancora quelle di BMI e i pass di BAA non funzionano... Provo a infilarmici stasera dopo il lavoro. In ogni caso il 15/8 fanno prove a pieno carico a terra, indovinate chi si è offerto volontario come ballast umano...
Ad ogni modo oggi arriva JB, JA aveva dei problemi interni e arriverà sabato alla stessa ora di oggi.
[h=1]Boeing delivers British Airways' first 787 Dreamliner[/h]LONDON, June 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Boeing (NYSE: BA) and British Airways announced the delivery today of the UK carrier's first Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
The British Airways 787 departed Paine Field in Everett, Wash., on Wednesday, June 26, arriving at London's Heathrow Airport today at 12:10 pm local time. The airplane was welcomed to its Heathrow home by Willie Walsh, chief executive officer of International Airlines Group (IAG), the company that owns British Airways.
"The 787 is a tremendous, innovative aircraft which sets new standards for environmental performance and operating efficiency and I'm sure British Airways' customers will love it," said Walsh. "The 787 will become a mainstay of the British Airways fleet over the next few years."
British Airways has announced that the airline will operate the 787 from Heathrow to Toronto from Sept. 1 and Heathrow to Newark from Oct. 1.
"The delivery of the first of BA's 787s is an exciting milestone for Boeing and British Airways," said Todd Nelp, vice president of European Sales, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "The 787 is the most technologically advanced and fuel-efficient commercial jetliner in its class. Its improved lighting, bigger windows, larger overhead bins, lower cabin altitude and cleaner cabin air will offer BA's passengers an unparalleled flying experience."
The 787 Dreamliner is composed of lightweight composites and features numerous systems, engine and aerodynamic advancements, with unmatched fuel efficiency using 20 percent less fuel than today's similarly sized airplanes. It is the first mid-sized airplane capable of flying long-range routes, providing airlines with unprecedented fuel economy and low operating costs and enabling airlines to open new, non-stop routes preferred by passengers. On a 787 with Rolls-Royce engines, UK companies make about 25 percent of the 787 by value.
The British Airways 787 Dreamliner carries 214 passengers and is configured with 35 seats in Club World, 25 in World Traveller Plus and 154 seats in the World Traveller cabin.
British Airways operates more than 140 Boeing airplanes within its fleet including 52 777s, as well as the world's largest fleet of 747s with 52.
This is the first of 24 787s British Airways has on order. In addition, IAG recently announced that it will convert 18 787 options to firm orders for British Airways, subject to shareholder agreement. Twelve of these will be 787-10s, meaning British Airways will operate the entire 787 family – the 787-8, 787-9 and 787-10.
British Airways employs approximately 40,000 people, based mainly in the UK, although it has staff based in more 75 countries around the world. The airline has 14,500 cabin crew and 3,500 pilots. The airline's route network currently serves in excess of 177 destinations and it operates in excess of 300,000 flights per year.

British Airways’ First 787s Open For Sale With Celebratory Fares
Star of stage and screen, Kim Cattrall, who was born in England, grew up in Canada and lives in the US, today began the countdown for customers to book flights on British Airways’ first Boeing 787, which arrived at its new Heathrow home today.
The airline is planning to serve Toronto with the 787 from September 1 and Newark, New York from October 1, subject to regulatory approval.
Flights are now on sale and to celebrate the airline is launching with a fare of £787 return in World Traveller Plus (premium economy) to both cities. Customers can also upgrade to Club World for an additional £787 return (total of £1,574 return per person).
Customers can book via ba.com or by calling 0844 493 0787.
Kim Cattrall, said: “I fly regularly between London, Canada and the USA with British Airways and I love their service. I need to be ready to work when I land, so to know that I can fly on their 787s and arrive feeling really rested and refreshed is a definite bonus for me.”
Cabin noise on the 787 is much less than on older aircraft types. Different pressurisation means the internal cabin altitude is the equivalent of 6,000ft, which is 2,000ft lower than on other aircraft. This leads to greater humidity, reducing the drying effect of the cabin air, so customers arrive feeling more refreshed. The aircraft’s smooth ride technology also provides extra comfort during any turbulence.
The bespoke lighting in every cabin can be set to reflect the time of day, helping to lull travellers to sleep at night and to wake them in the morning. Customers can also enjoy much larger windows, offering views of the horizon from every seat.
Willie Walsh, chief executive of IAG, said: “The 787 is a tremendous, innovative aircraft which sets new standards for environmental performance and operating efficiency and I’m sure British Airways customers will love it.
“The 787 will become a mainstay of the British Airways fleet over the next few years. This is the first of 24 that will arrive by 2017, and we have announced plans to convert further options for the aircraft into firm orders for delivery from 2017, including for the new larger 787-10 version.”
British Airways has ordered 24 787s, which will arrive over the next four years. The airline has also ordered 12 A380s and six additional 777-300ERs. Over the next 12 months, it will take delivery of a new aircraft at the rate of one a fortnight.
The aircraft orders form the centrepiece of British Airways’ £5bn investment in improved customer experience in the air and on the ground. The airline is the first in Europe to operate both the 787 and the A380.
Mitch Preston is British Airways’ first 787 pilot to fly the aircraft from Boeing’s Seattle home to London. Preston said: “It was a real pleasure to fly the 787 home to Heathrow today – it’s a joy to operate, and a really smooth ride.
“It’s exceptionally quiet and the cabin environment, combined with the service customers would expect from British Airways, will make for a great experience.
“I for one can’t wait to welcome our customers on board.”

Grande! Report estremamente interessante e molto vero. L unica "scusa" che non regge per giustificare i ritardi é quella della supply chain. Per un cliente é irrilevante in quale modo il fornitore metta insieme il prodotto che vende. Se Boing ha intrapreso questa strada lo ha fatto solo con la convinzione di avere costi di produzione piú bassi o tempi di consegna piú stretti, non per offrire un prodotto migliore o diverso.
Per completare il quadro della tua analisi, si potrebbe forse aggiungere una sezione intitotala: "what's in it for the passengers", che nelle idee dei fabbricanti di aeroplani sembra sia sempre meno tenuto in considerazione...

Ecco qui il primo 787 BA a LHR, primo nuovo aereo per la compagnia in oltre 17 anni. G-ZBJB è srrivato sulla pista 27L, ha fatto un giretto di taxiing intorno al terminal 3, annusato la concorrenza e poi è arrivato a Base, dove lavoro io. Le prime due foto sono zoomate dal telefono praticamente dalla mia scrivania (beh, era quella di uno dei capi ma non si è offeso per essersi ritrovato mezzo piano in braccio).
Eccolo al traino diretto all'area di parcheggio dietro al Technical Block A, o TBA per gli amici...
E infine eccolo qui, ormeggiato alla jetway di "esercitazione" del Cabin Care Centre, dove si risistemano e si riadattano gli interni dei nostri aerei. Le voci che girano dicono che gli interni non sono stati rifiniti per bene da Boeing e quindi c'è un po' di lavoro da fare. Di solito gli aerei nuovi sono spediti primaa Cardiff per gli interni, specie quelli di Club, ma questa volta è andata così. Tra l'altro doveva essere JA a volare per primo, ma così non è stato (pare sempre per questioni di interni).
Se tutto a bene, dovrei poter salire a bordo del 787 per una prova il 15/8.
