MUMBAI: After about a month of domestic operations, Air India's Boeing 787 Dreamliner
aircraft began operating commercial flights on the international long
haul sector with a maiden Delhi-Frankfurt flight on Monday.
Air India's first Dreamliner aircraft had arrived at Delhi from Charleston on September 8 and since then two more Dreamliners have joined the airline fleet. Till now these aircraft were being deployed on the domestic sectors - apart from operations between Delhi and Dubai, said a release issued by the airline. The aircraft has a two class configuration with 18 flat bed seats in the Executive Class and 238 seats in the Economy class, a total of 256 seats.
The aircraft is equipped with the state-of-the-art in-flight entertainment system, capable of AVOD (Audio Video On Demand) in all classes. A USB port is provided in all classes capable of connecting to Passenger Electronic Devices e.g. Digital Camera, Keyboard, MP3 Player, Mobile phone charging, etc. Also, an overhead video Broadcast is provided on the 15.4 inch LCD monitors throughout the cabin.
``Passengers aboard the Dreamliners will also experience a smoother ride, as the airplane is equipped with a system that senses turbulence and commands wing control surfaces to counter it, enhancing comforts in the travel,'' said the release. Air India has placed an order of 27 Dreamliner aircraft from Boeing.
