Japan Airlines receives first Dreamliners

The two aircraft were flown into Tokyo from Boeing’s Seattle base prior to the aircraft entering service next month.

The new generation twinjets will be used on JAL’s new Tokyo-Boston route which is launched on April 22.

Representative director and president of the JAL Group Yoshiharu Ueki said: “The in-flight experience of this aircraft was extraordinary and beyond my expectations.”

Boeing Japan president Mike Denton said: “It was my first long-haul flight on the Dreamliner and it was great to experience first hand the enhanced cabin environment which made it a truly pleasant journey.”
