ANA Chooses Hong Kong for First Commercial 787 Flight

ANA will operate its first commercial flight of its new Boeing 787 Dreamliner as a charter international flight between Narita and Hong Kong.

The flight, the Dreamliner’s inaugural service on a commercial basis, will take place approximately one month after the first aircraft is delivered to ANA. Delivery is currently scheduled for September 2011.

The Narita-Hong Kong maiden flight will be available to any customer who applies for the special package tour departing Tokyo which ANA is arranging.

ANA will also operate two domestic excursion flights, departing and landing at Narita and lasting approximately an hour following the flight to Hong Kong to allow more ANA customers to experience the increased level of comfort resulting from the plane’s innovative features.

The excursion flights will be available to ANA’s frequent flyers and ANA Mileage Card members.

The first Dreamliner delivered will be installed on ANA’s regular domestic service following the charter flights, either on the Haneda-Okayama or Haneda-Hiroshima route.

Passengers on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner will benefit from the larger windows with electro-chromatic shades, bigger onboard luggage storage space and a more refreshing atmosphere within the cabin enabled by the plane’s innovative design.
