Royal Jordanian Airlines (Amman) and Boeing (Chicago and Seattle) yesterday (August 26) celebrated the delivery of the airline’s first 787 Dreamliner. The airplane will play a central role in the Amman-based airline’s strategic plan for fleet modernization. Royal Jordanian acquired this airplane through leasing company AerCap.
With this delivery, Royal Jordanian becomes only the second airline in the Middle East to operate the 787.
The airline will configure its Dreamliner to carry 24 passengers in business class and 246 in economy class.
To support Royal Jordanian’s Dreamliners, Boeing is providing a comprehensive suite of support and services through its Commercial Aviation Services business. Royal Jordanian has received flight and maintenance training and will be using Airplane Health Management, a diagnostic and predictive capability that evaluates airplane operations data while airplanes are in flight and notifies ground crews of potential maintenance issues; a Rotable Exchange Program that provides a dedicated pool of high-value, mission-critical parts and manages inventory at a reduced cost; and Maintenance Performance Toolbox, a digital real-time-information tool that enables quick resolution of airplane maintenance issues.
Royal Jordanian currently flies a network of over 50 global destinations and plans to deploy the Dreamliner on services to North American destinations as well as to Asia, Europe and the Middle East.
To date, more than 180 Dreamliners have been delivered to 20 customers worldwide.

Verrebbe fuori un'orribile tovaglia da picnic. I colori scelti da Etihad sono molto in armonia tra di loro ed il risultato pare, finora, essere molto interessante.
3SEP14, UNITED took delivery of its first 787-9
"We became the first North American carrier on Wednesday to take delivery of the Boeing 787-9, a stretched version of the 787-8 that enables us to accommodate more customers and further capitalize on our worldwide route network. The 787-9 builds on the Dreamliner’s fuel efficiency and customer comfort while giving us even more flexibility and range,” said Fleet VP Ron Baur. “Last year our customers gave the 787 the highest customer satisfaction scores of any aircraft in our fleet, and we know they’ll enjoy what the 787-9 has to offer.”
After officially signing for the aircraft (#950) our Tech Ops team in SEA (Seattle) performs post-delivery modifications and installs various United-specific software and hardware on the aircraft. We will then ferry the aircraft to IAH, where it will receive FAA inspections and our jetway drivers and dining services employees will undergo training. We will then prep the aircraft for a validation flight before it enters revenue service, expected in late September.
The 787-9’s larger seating capacity and extended range – approximately 350 miles more than the 787-8’s 8,200 – will be used on routes such as LAX-MEL (Melbourne, Australia), which we will launch on Oct. 26.
Prior to the launch of our LAX-MEL route, our new 787-9 will fly primarily between IAH and LAX and will also operate NFL charter flights as we gain experience on this new aircraft type."

United Airlines takes delivery of its first Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner
United Airlines (Chicago) has become the first North American carrier to take delivery of the Boeing 787-9, a stretched version of the Dreamliner that will allow the airline to accommodate more customers and further capitalize on its worldwide route network. The aircraft is the first of 26 of the newest member of the Dreamliner family United has on order.
The airline’s technicians will now perform United-specific software installations and hardware upgrades. United pilots will then fly the aircraft to the airline’s Houston hub for additional flights before it is expected to enter domestic service in late September.
The 787-9’s extended range – 8,550 miles compared to the 787-8’s 8,200 – will enable United to launch its Los Angeles to Melbourne, Australia, service on October 26, the airline’s first regularly scheduled international deployment of the aircraft. It will be the longest Dreamliner route in the world to date. In advance of the Melbourne route launch, United will primarily fly the aircraft between Houston (Bush Intercontinental) and Los Angeles.
United’s 787-9 will be configured with 252 seats – 48 in United BusinessFirst and 204 in United Economy, including 88 Economy Plus seats with added legroom and increased personal space.
Wi-Fi on the 787-9
United’s 787-9 fleet comes with factory-installed Wi-Fi connectivity. Starting with this aircraft delivery, all of the airline’s subsequent Dreamliners, including the -8 and -10 variants, will be delivered with Wi-Fi. United currently has Wi-Fi on more than 300 aircraft, including all of its Airbus and Boeing 747 aircraft, and plans to equip the vast majority of its mainline fleet with Wi-Fi by mid-2015

Non faccio fatica a credere alla parte sull'abuso di stupefacenti da parte degli operai: è un problema molto diffuso negli Stati Uniti.
io invece non faccio fatica a vedere una palese intenzione e azione di danno nei confronti di Boeing; non sono un complottista, ma visto come stanno andando certe cose nel mondo, pensare a un tizio che va a bussare alle porte di Al Jazeera (no alla CNN o alla CBS!) per denunciare (in forma anonima, ovviamente...) una presunta non-sicurezza di un aereo anziche' bussare a quelle dell'FAA , mi fa davvero sorridere...
intanto posso anticipare che nell'intranet boeing hanno storto non poco il naso per il report al jazeera.
Boeing is loaning its third 787 Dreamliner to the Museum of Flight in Seattle, a big win for the museum.
The aircraft, painted in Boeing colors, is expected to arrive Nov. 8, said Museum of Flight spokesman Ted Huetter.
The Museum of Flight may well be the first in the nation to receive a Dreamliner.
“It’s a big deal. This is definitely one of the breakthrough aircraft in commercial air travel,” he said. “To have one of those examples of original aircraft is significant, and it adds to our collection as we try to tell the story of commercial aviation ... It’s a perfect fit.”
Boeing and museum officials were negotiating this week to determine how best to handle the handoff, and discussions have been underway since the beginning of the year, Huetter said. The deal to loan the plane to the museum hasn't been finalized but Boeing has confirmed it plans to hand off the Dreamliner.
“It’s a big deal for us,” he said of the Dreamliner. “It will be a beautiful addition.”
Donating the aircraft is good for Boeing, too. This is one of the very earliest models of the 787, and the plane was so extensively modified that airlines haven’t wanted it.
It’s also bittersweet, because the unsellable aircraft represents the three years of trials Boeing faced as it struggled to get the aircraft into full production.
But the plane also has a positive history, because it was Boeing’s show-off airplane, which flew around the world in 2012 to multiple airports in Boeing’s six-month Dreamtour, which started in China.
The Dreamliner will be parked near the museum on along the border of Boeing Field at first, he said. Later, it probably will be moved to the west side of East Marginal way, in an area they’re calling the “West Side Campus.”
"The cabin will be a mixture of airline seating and exhibits," said Huetter in an email. "It will be parked on the tarmac next to the museum main entrance and will be open to the public."

Japan Airlines has unveiled the new cabin interior to soon feature on its B787-8 Dreamliner aircraft.
The design — branded as JAL Sky Suite 787 — will first be available on the airline's Tokyo Narita to Frankfurt route from December, followed by its Tokyo Narita to New York service from January.
The JAL Sky Suite 787 layout will be configured onto all subsequent deliveries of the B787-8 as well as the upcoming stretched variant, the B787-9.
Upcoming B787-8 business seat: JAL Sky Suite
Existing B787-8 business seat: JAL Shell Flat Neo
Perhaps the biggest change from JAL's existing B787-8 layout is the addition of a premium economy cabin, with a new seatmap provided by the airline indicating there will be 35 premium economy seats.
Overall seat capacity will fall from 186 to 161. There will be 38 business class seats, as opposed to the existing 42, but it is in economy where JAL will be cutting the most number of seats — from 144 to 88.
Revision to business class is significant, as JAL will be installing its fully-flat beds (JAL Sky Suite) onto the Dreamliner, the same as those currently on its Boeing 777. Although configured in a 2-2-2 layout, all seats have direct aisle access.
Other amenities include ample storage space, a large swivel table, and a 23-inch personal TV attached to each seat.
Premium economy – JAL Sky Premium
Economy class – JAL Sky Wider
One of the major complaints by premium passengers was that the B787-8 currently features the JAL Shell Flat Neo seats, which are angled lie-flat. Considering that the Dreamliner is deployed on long-haul services, the fully-flat JAL Sky Suite will be a major improvement.
Premium economy will be configured in a 2-3-2 layout, with the same seat design as that on JAL's B777 aircraft.
The fixed back allows for reclining without affecting the passenger behind you. A centre divider at head level provides added privacy, while a new 12.1-inch touch-panel monitor is also available.
Seatmap: How JAL's new B787-8 cabin will look
Finally, the reduction in economy class means that the seats will no longer be positioned in a 3-3-3 layout but in a more comfortable 2-4-2 set-up. Passengers will receive an extra five centimetres of legroom over the existing product.

risposta di Boeing :
Boeing (Chicago and Seattle) has issued this statement on the Al Jazeera documentary on the 787:
We have not been afforded the opportunity to view the full program, but the promotional trailer and published media reviews suggest that what has been produced is as biased a production as we have seen in some time. It is unfortunate that the producers of this television program appear to have fallen into the trap of distorting facts, relying on claims rejected by courts of law, breathlessly rehashing as “news” stories that have been covered exhaustively in the past and relying on anonymous sources who appear intent only on harming The Boeing Company.
When first contacted by the producers, we accommodated them in order for them to produce a fair and objective report including facilitating factory access, interviews and providing full and open responses to their questions. The 787 is an outstanding airplane delivering value to our customers, but we have also talked candidly in public about its challenging development process. There are no tougher critics about our early performance than Boeing. Unfortunately, the reporting team appears to have chosen to take advantage of our trust and openness and abused their position from the outset by deliberately misrepresenting the purpose, objective and scope of their planned coverage.
This specious production appears to have ignored the factual information provided by Boeing and instead based the majority of its reporting on unnamed sources pursuing their own agendas and a disgruntled former employee engaged in a legal dispute with Boeing. In one instance, the producers resorted to ambush tactics normally seen only in tabloid-style TV news. The anonymous sources the TV program depends on are clearly working with those who seek to harm Boeing and its workers. They appear to have no real interest in truth, safety or better informing the public.
Even on-the-record sources seem to have changed their stories for the producers. For example, former Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA) President Cynthia Cole said this about the 787’s first flight in 2009: “Today’s flight is a testament to the skill, hard work and diligence Boeing employees put in to get this airplane ready to fly,” SPEEA President Cynthia Cole said in a news release. “Boeing returned to engineering, and that’s what made today possible and successful.” Now, she states in the documentary trailer that Boeing “shortchanged the engineering process.”
Instead of an objective view of the 787’s development, viewers and our employees will see a television program that is neither balanced nor accurate in its portrayal of the airplane, our employees, or our suppliers. This program and those involved with it do a disservice to the hard-working men and women of Boeing and our supplier partners who designed and build the 787.
Furthermore, the program presents a false impression of Boeing South Carolina and the quality of work performed there. Airplanes, whether delivered from South Carolina or Washington, meet the highest safety and quality standards that are verified through robust test, verification and inspection processes. Our data of the current 787 fleet in service show parity in the quality and performance of airplanes manufactured in both locations.
Non poteva essere altrimenti... Mi sorprende solo che non si faccia cenno a una sostanziosa richiesta di risarcimento danni nei confronti della produzione del "documentario", inclusa la "obiettivissima" Al Jazeera...

Grande JAL! Configurazione super premium (161 posti) e super comoda, anche per i passeggeri di Y: 2-4-2 con pitch di 33". Sensazionale! Meritano i complimenti per una scelta in controtendenza che sicuramente sarà molto apprezzata dai passeggeri. Alla faccia di quei vettori che vogliono ridurci a sardine.
