JAL Launches Boeing 787 Dreamliner on Delhi-Tokyo Route

On Monday, Japan Airlines (JAL), the national carrier of Japan flew its Dreamliner Boeing 787 flight to New Delhi from Tokyo on May 1, 2012. The new Dreamliner of the airline is much advanced in terms of competence and fuel consumption contrasting to its existing fleet of Boeing 777.

While elaborating the plans of the airline, the Country Manager of Japan Airlines, Mr. Yasushi Isomura elaborated that the airline has planned to operate five Tokyo-Delhi flights per week and the Dreamliner will be deployed to operate four of these flights from May 1.

Japan Airline’s first Dreamliner flight was launched to the US last week while India has become the second nation where the airline will fly this modern fuel-efficient aircraft.

With the commencement of the Dreamliner, the airline is anticipating to attract a fair share of business and leisure holidaymakers taking inbound and outbound flights to India.  The airline's Delhi-Tokyo service will also lure travellers from other Indian metros, which hold around 10-15% of the total flyer count.

Boeing 787 Dreamliner can accommodate a large number of flyers especially those looking for cheap flight tickets in economy class. The aircraft offers 42 seats in business class and 144 seats in economy class for those seeking cheap flights to India connecting Delhi with Tokyo and vice versa.

Presently, Japan Airlines has placed order for 45 Boeing 787 Dreamliner, whereas Air India has ordered for 27 of these aircraft out of which the airline is hoping to get at least three this year. India’s largest carrier by passenger number, Jet Airways is also in the beeline waiting for its order of 10 of this ultra modern aircrafts.
