Boeing 787 -8 34422 92 G-TUIA Thomson Airways delivery 30may13 PAE-MAN

- First UK airline to operate the 787 MANCHESTER, United Kingdom, May 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Boeing (NYSE: BA) and Thomson Airways announced the delivery today of the airline's first Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The airplane, the first of eight 787s Thomson Airways has on order, is the first to be delivered to a UK airline. Thousands gathered to watch Thomson's 787 Dreamliner arrive at Manchester Airport, completing its delivery flight from Paine Field in Everett, Wash. Senior Thomson and Boeing executives, including Thomson Managing Director Chris Browne and Boeing Commercial Airplanes Vice President of Marketing Randy Tinseth, were onboard the delivery flight. "After much anticipation, we are very excited to welcome the 787 Dreamliner to our fleet and as the first airline in the UK, hope our customers will enjoy the unique experience of this revolutionary aircraft," said Browne. "The extended flying range of the Dreamliner also unlocks a host of new and exciting holiday options for our customers, increasing the range of long-haul destinations available with Thomson Airways from four UK airports. Customers will be amazed at the unique look, feel and service – all of which will ensure the unique Thomson holiday experience starts as soon as they step on board this fabulous new aircraft." The aircraft was welcomed on arrival at Manchester by Todd Nelp, vice president of European sales, Boeing Commercial Airplanes and Ken O'Toole, Chief Commercial Officer for MAG, owner of Manchester Airport. "Today's 787 delivery represents a very significant milestone in the ongoing partnership between Boeing and Thomson Airways," said Nelp. "Thomson becomes the first UK airline to operate the 787, the most technologically advanced and fuel efficient commercial jetliner ever built. Thomson's passengers will experience unparalleled levels of comfort with the 787's improved lighting, bigger windows, larger overhead bins, lower cabin altitude and enhanced ventilation systems. This delivery marks the next chapter in history for both Thomson and the UK aviation industry." The 787 Dreamliner is composed of light-weight composites and features numerous systems, engine and aerodynamic advancements, making it more efficient to operate compared with its competition. 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 July 8, Thomson's first long-haul Dreamliner flights will operate from Manchester to Florida and Glasgow to Cancun. Thomson will also operate services from London Gatwick and East Midlands airports. Later this year, the airline will introduce direct flights to Phuket, Thailand from the UK. The Thomson 787 Dreamliner will carry 291 passengers and is configured with 47 seats in the airline's Premium Club cabin and 244 seats in the Economy Club cabin. Thomson Airways is part of the TUI Travel PLC and is the UK's third largest airline operating 58 aircraft. http://boeing.mediaroom.com/index.php?s=43&item=2687

Intanto nel mese di maggio Boeing ha consegnato sette 787 (2 TUI, 2 ANA, 1 China Southern, 1 JAL, 1 LOT). La consegna più significativa è probabilmente quella a China Southern, visto che Boeing ha fermi a Everett vari aerei anche per Hainan in attesa della certificazione da parte delle autorità cinesi. Maggiore il ritmo delle consegne - Boeing ha promesso di arrivare a dieci al mese entro dicembre - maggiore la credibilità che il programma 787 riacquisterà in vista del lancio della serie -10: con molti anni di backlog Boeing deve dimostrare di riuscire a consegnare aerei celermente per potersi assicurare nuovi ordini copiosi.

EVERETT, Wash., June 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --*Boeing [NYSE: BA] has begun final assembly of the first 787-9 Dreamliner. The newest member of the 787 family began taking shape on schedule May 30 in Everett, Wash., when Boeing started joining large sections of the super-efficient jet.
"From the start, the entire 787-9 team has focused relentlessly on execution so that we fulfill the commitments to our customers," said Mark Jenks, vice president, 787 Airplane Development, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "Integrating the 787-9 into our production system on time is another clear sign that we are well prepared and well positioned for the work ahead."
Boeing's global partners delivered the first 787-9 sections to final assembly on or ahead of schedule, and strong progress continues beyond, with major assembly under way on the other flight-test airplanes. "The dedication, quality and skill of our partners are helping drive our disciplined performance," said Jenks.
Boeing will build the first three 787-9s on its Temporary Surge Line in Everett to allow for smoother integration of the 787-9 into the production system while continuing to ramp up production across the 787 program.
The 787-9 will complement and extend the 787 family, offering airlines the ability to grow routes opened with the 787-8. With the fuselage stretched by 20 feet (6*meters), the 787-9 will carry 40 more passengers an additional 300 nautical miles (555 kilometers) while using 20 percent less fuel than similarly sized airplanes. The 787-9 leverages the visionary design of the 787-8, offering the features passengers prefer such as large, dimmable windows, large stow bins, modern LED lighting, higher humidity, a lower cabin altitude, cleaner air and a smoother ride.
The vertical stabilizer on this 787-9 reflects the new Boeing Commercial Airplanes livery, a refreshed look for the Boeing family of airplanes that started with the 747-8 and evolved with the 737 MAX. Many features of the livery on the original 787 are reflected in the new design. The prominent number designator on the tail helps distinguish various models within the same product family.
First flight of the 787-9 is scheduled for the second half of 2013, with first delivery to launch customer Air New Zealand set for early 2014. 20 customers around the world have ordered 355 787-9s, accounting for 40 percent of all 787 orders.

Il 787 può operare su Napoli? Visto che Thomson Airways ha vari voli charter e visto che i suoi piloti dovranno fare dei voli di training mi chiedevo se fosse possibile vederlo nello scalo di Capodichino

Credo proprio di si, anche perché dovrebbe essere un classe D, quindi non vedo problemi di stand.

A giugno dovrebbero venire consegnate 14 macchine

Aeromexico (ILFC) - 1
Air India - 1
ANA - 2

Boeing inizia l'assemblaggio del primo 787-9
Monday 03 June 2013

Boeing comunica di aver iniziato l'assemblaggio finale del primo 787-9 Dreamliner. Il nuovo membro della famiglia 787 sta cominciando a prendere forma presso lo stabilimento del costruttore americano a Everett, nello stato di Washington, dove Boeing sta iniziando a unire le principali sezioni strutturali dell'aeroplano.
Tutte le componenti sono state consegnate a Boeing dai vari partner del programma così come schedulato e anche l'altro velivolo destinato ai test si trova in fase avanzata di realizzazione.
Boeing costruirà i primi tre 787-9 sulla sua Temporary Surge Line di Everett per consentire una graduale integrazione del 787-9 nel sistema produttivo dell'impianto. Con una fusoliera più lunga di 6 metri rispetto al 787-8, il 787-9 potrà caricare circa 40 passeggeri in più del primo membro della famiglia.

Di questo passo entro le prime settimane del 2014 ci saranno in circolazione più 787 che 380. Credo sia un dato interessante per capire come - in assenza di ulteriori problemi - si vada verso la normalizzazione per il 787.

E non c'è tutta la manfrina di controlli, prove statiche e prove in volo come per il 787-8?

L'aereo è in produzione: un esemplare lo stanno assemblando adesso, altri due destinati a supporto dei test e uno destinato ad ANA inizieranno l'assemblaggio finale nel giro di poche settimane. Dopodiché ci saranno le varie fasi di test: in virtù delle notevoli commonality fra le due versioni dell'aereo i test del 787-9 richiederanno (salvo problemi, ovviamente) meno tempo e minori sforzi rispetto a quelli della serie originale.

Intanto Air Berlin ha annunciato di aver convertito gli ordini di 787-8 in 787-9: consegna posticipata di conseguenza dal 2015 al 2017.

Il primo esemplare non era destinato ad Air New Zealand?
