aircraft.jpgAs a keen aircraft geek, I am counting down to the first test flight of the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner at Boeing’s vast manufacturing facility in Puget Sound, near Seattle.

Boeing plan for the first test flight to be before the 1st of July. Just like the way TimeZoneOne does business, this will be a game-changer. It affords airlines an aircraft that is lighter than anything comparable, that flys further, and that is faster with up to a 20% fuel saving per passenger. With the Dreamliner it may be possible to fly direct from Christchurch to Chicago non-stop.  This would be perfect for Zoners! The Dreamliner is the most significant technology change for mass transport in 40 years. She will fly proudly alongside another game changer – her 40 year old sister – the Boeing 747 Jumbo.
