The super-efficient Boeing Dreamliner is making its debut at Hyderabad as part of Boeing’s commercial products showcase at the India Aviation Air Show 2012.

“The 787 Dreamliner is a game changer and we are proud to bring it to India Aviation 2012, which is a perfect place to showcase the world’s most advanced commercial airplane,” said Dinesh Keskar, Senior Vice President, Sales Asia-Pacific and India for Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The 787 Dreamliner is featuring the distinctive ‘red and white’ colours depicting the flying swan with the ‘Konark Chakra.’ The airplane is outfitted with Air India’s beautifully designed interior with warm colours, a luxurious business-class cabin, overhead crew rest compartments and an economyclass section.

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is the first airplane to provide both long distance capabilities with mid-size capacity, allowing airlines to open new, nonstop routes preferred by the travelling public. The airplane is 20 per cent more fuel-efficient than similarly sized airplanes. Sixty customers have 868 Dreamliners on order, making the 787 the fastest-selling wide-body airplane in commercial aviation history.
