Boeing 787 to Visit Bangkok and Singapore in Third Part of World Tour

Boeing will begin the third segment of the six-month 787 Dream Tour of the world in February, with the tour aircraft making two stops in Asia.

From November 2011 to June 2012, the third flight-test Boeing 787-8, given the internal Boeing designation ZA003, was scheduled on an extensive tour throughout the world to show the new 787 to customers and production-program partners

The Boeing 787-8 will visit Bangkok and Singapore, where customers, partners, government officials and media will experience the Dreamliner’s technology and passenger innovations first-hand.

The February schedule includes the following stops:

● February 9-February 11: Bangkok, to visit Thai Airways International; and

● February 11-February 18: Singapore, to visit Singapore Airlines and to be on display at the Singapore Airshow.

The Dream Tour aircraft, ZA003, is outfitted with the 787’s special cabin features, including a welcoming entry-way, dramatically larger dimmable windows, bigger overhead stowage bins and dynamic LED lighting. The aircraft is configured with a luxurious business-class cabin, an overhead crew rest compartment and an economy class section.

Boeing is announcing dates and locations for additional Boeing 787 Dream Tour stops approximately one month in advance.
