STORY SUMMARY:


British Airways is debuting its new Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft with
an inaugural round-trip flight between London and Toronto on September
1. The flight will touch-down at Lester B Pearson Airport at
approximately 2:55 pm local time and will depart the same evening
around 7:20 pm, marking the first long-haul service for the airline's
new fleet.



Canadians will now be able to enjoy new levels of comfort and reduced
jet-lag on their trips to Europe thanks to improvements in air quality,
mood lighting, quieter cabins and lower air pressure. The Dreamliner
will fly exclusively between Toronto and London in September and
beginning in October, between New York and London.



The new aircraft accommodates 214 passengers, 35 in Club World (business
class), 25 in World Traveler Plus (premium economy) and 154 in World
Traveler (economy). The Boeing 787-8 is a mid-size, dual aisle, twin
engine jet manufactured by Boeing, the American aerospace company. The
aircraft uses 20% less fuel than similar sized commercial jets.
Composite materials make up 50 percent of the primary structure,
including the fuselage and wing.
