Boeing 787 Dreamliner stops off at Shannon Airport

DateWednesday, July 28, 2010 at 10:21AM

Shannon Airport recorded another first last week when the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner made a refuelling stop on its way back to Seattle after visiting the Farnborough International Airshow in England. 

The jet, principally constructed from carbon-fibre and billed as the most fuel-efficient jetliner ever built, is on its first trip outside the US and has yet to enter commercial service.

Shannon is the first commercial airport outside the US where the 787 has landed. 


Shannon Airport Director Martin Moroney said that because of the airport's history in relation to transatlantic flights, "it was particularly fitting that the Dreamliner’s first Irish visit was to the mid-west. We look forward to seeing this aircraft operating commercially through Shannon" , he said.
