First airline in Canada receives Dreamliner

5/21/2014 9:20:35 AM

Boeing delivered a 787 Dreamliner to Air Canada, the first airline in Canada to fly the Dreamliner.   The airplane, the first of Air Canada's 37 787s on order for delivery through 2019, departed Paine Field in Everett, Wash., on its delivery flight to Toronto.   "The 787 Dreamliner will immediately make a dramatic improvement to our fleet capabilities," said Calin Rovinescu, president and CEO, Air Canada. "The improvement in fuel use is extremely exciting for us."     Air Canada announced it will use the 787 on its Toronto-Tel Aviv routes, as well as launch a new destination, Tokyo's Haneda Airport. The 787 is 20 percent more fuel efficient than similar-sized airplanes it will replace in Air Canada's fleet. Aircargo World
