Boeing delivers 787 planes to Japan Airlines

March 31, 2012 By Northwest Asian Weekly

EVERETT, Wash. (AP) — Boeing Co. delivered two of its new 787s to Japan Airlines on March 26. The planes will be the first 787s that will fly commercially from the United States.

The airline plans to fly the planes between Boston and Tokyo starting April 22. It later plans to add flights between San Diego and Tokyo.

The airline has ordered 45 of the jets. Boeing has booked orders for 873 of the planes altogether. It delivered its first 787 last fall to JAL competitor All Nippon Airways Co. Those planes are being flown in Asia. United Airlines will be the first U.S. carrier to get one, later this year.

The 787s delivered March 26 are the first with General Electric engines. Boeing got U.S. government approval for those engines on the 787 just last week.

Shares of Chicago-based Boeing rose $1.11 to $75.08 in afternoon trading. Its shares have traded in a 52-week range of $56.01 to $80.65 per share. (end)
