On the morning of May 31, 2013, Thomson Airways will welcome the arrival of its first Boeing 787 at Manchester Airport following its delivery flight from Seattle. The airline is the UK launch customer for the aircraft and the first new customer for the type since its enforced grounding while safety checks and modifications were made to the global fleet. Six of the eleven existing operators of the Dreamliner have now resumed scheduled flights with the modern generation airliner and others will follow in the coming days.
You can see our report on the arrival of Thomson Airways’ first aircraft and an exclusive interview with Managing Director, Chris Browne in next week’s The HUB, but we thought now would be a good time to update you on the current 787 flight schedule and which routes the aircraft has been deployed upon since its return to service and the future routes it will fly. This list was compiled from the GDS inventory of the airlines by our sister blog Airline Route on May 31, 2013 and changes to planned resumption dates and new route launches are likely. You can keep up to date on these by searching under the category “Boeing 787” on Airline Route.
