alberttky 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2012 Japan Airlines (JAL) has announced that it will deploy its Dreamliner aircraft on its Singapore flights from September this year. The Boeing B787 aircraft will be used to operate the carrier’s daily service to the Lion City from both Narita and Haneda airports in Tokyo. From October 28, JAL will also up the frequency of Singapore flights with one additional daily service on the Narita-Singapore route, which will also be serviced by the Dreamliner. The flight will depart Narita at 1755, arriving in Singapore at 0025. The return leg is scheduled to take off at 0140, arriving back in Tokyo at 0925. As a result, the carrier will then be flying to Singapore 21 times a week, up from the current 14 times. As previously reported, the carrier will also use the Dreamliner to operate flights to New Delhi, Moscow, Beijing and the new Boston route. http://www.businesstraveller.com/asia-pacific/news/jal-to-fly-dreamliner-to-singapore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KC Sim 2 Report post Posted January 20, 2012 Three cheers to Japan Airlines ... all of us in Singapore are extremely excited by this news. And Singapore will be the first destination for JAL to get B787 services from both Haneda and Narita Airports. Now I wish that JAL will follow ANA in putting some special touches in its B787 livery.

Cire 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2012 Changi Airport welcomed its first Boeing 787 Dreamliner commercial flight – operated by Japan Airlines (JAL) – with a water-cannon salute on Sunday evening. JAL said it will use the plane on all Tokyo-Singapore flights from early next year.-straitstimes No matter how model and technological an airplane is, we still can't run away from the many toggles and switches. Perhaps something are best left to its original form. The Dreamliner still retains the conventional yoke stick as opposed to the joystick method. Maybe the old method have better feel or control over the plane than a joy stick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sandeep G 1 Report post Posted October 22, 2012 B787-8 too small to SQ Back when the decision to order the B787s was made - the 787-8 was too small. Today, perhaps the 787-8 may be a perfect fit! The glory of hindsight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
