    Air France-KLM Group selected the 787 Dreamliner as part of its long-haul fleet renewal, with an intent of purchasing 25 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, with options for 25 more.

    “We’re proud to be a major part of the fleet renewal plan being undertaken by Air France-KLM ,” said Jim Albaugh, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. “The 787 Dreamliner will bring outstanding value to the two airlines and will be a great complement to their large fleets of Boeing widebody airplanes. We’re looking forward to finalizing our agreement.”

    The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is an all-new commercial jetliner that brings new efficiencies to airlines and delivers superior comfort to passengers. The airplane features the industry’s largest windows, a lower cabin altitude and cleaner air. These features combine to allow passengers to arrive at their destinations more refreshed.

    The 787 Dreamliner is the fastest-selling twin-aisle airplane in aviation history, with more than 800 orders from 56 customers around the world. The Air France-KLM announcement is not included in this total.

    Nine French companies partner with Boeing on the 787 Dreamliner. They include Dassault Systèmes (software solutions), Labinal (wiring), Latécoère (passenger doors), Messier-Bugatti (electric brakes), Messier-Dowty (main and nose landing gear), Michelin (aftermarket tyres), Radiall (connectors), Thales (electric power conversion system, flight display, in-flight entertainment system), and Zodiac (emergency slides, primary electrical distribution and various equipments).
    The Air France-KLM Group is a long-time and valued customer with a large Boeing fleet of 188 airplanes in operation.

    But Air France isn’t getting the first one off the line.

    After three years worth of delays, after the August 26(finally!) certification by the FAA and Easa, the first 737 is going to Japan’s All Nippon Airways on Sunday, Sept. 25, 2011. Finally tested and found to be in compliance with all federal regulations, after it’s first Nov 11 flight with Nippon Airways, the route will be Tokyo to Okayama-Hiroshima and (in January) Tokyo to Frankfurt.

    United Continental will be flying the 787 from Houston to New Zealand, and Houston to Lagos, Nigeria. (Let’s hope not to Guam.)
