British Airways will fly a Boeing 787 Dreamliner on September 1, on regular basis flight, for cutting the costs by introducing fuel-efficient aircraft.
Boeing 787 Dreamliner will be introduced on flights from London Heathrow to Toronto which is currently operated by Boeing 767 and Boeing 747. Meanwhile, flights to Newark Liberty which is currently operated by Boeing 767 and Boeing 777 also will replaced with Boeing 787 a month later.
"Boeing 787 Dreamliner will be the main fleet of British Airways," Willie Walsh said, Chief Executive Officer of International Consolidated Airlines Group (IAG), the parent company of British Airways.
British Airways planned to receive eight Boeing 787-8 and 16 Boeing 787-9 larger until 2017, followed by the arrival of 12 Boeing 787-10 which became the biggest variant in 2018.
