Boeing, ANA complete Dreamliner validation

13 Jul 2011

Boeing and ANA have announced the completion of the 787 service ready operational validation. As part of the procedure, ANA pilots, together with Boeing, flew the Dreamliner on routes from Seattle to Tokyo and from Tokyo to four airports across Japan: Osaka (Itami and Kansai), Okayama and Hiroshima. 

In addition, over 100 procedures were validated, including towing the airplane, conducting fit checks of ground support equipment, staging electronic flight bag data and completing maintenance actions, among others.

Passenger flights will commence later in the year with the first service to be either Tokyo Haneda-Okayama or Tokyo Haneda-Hiroshima. The airline has 55 Dreamliners on order.
