787 First Revenue Flights

Wed Aug 27, 2014 3:18 am

Just curious to see where the Dreamliner operators sent their first 787's on their first revenue flight. I've found some info online for some airlines, but for others I haven't been able to find anything.

All Nippon: NRT-HKG
Japan Airlines: NRT-BOS
Ethiopian: IAD-ADD
United: IAH-ORD
Qatar: DOH-DXB
LOT: WAW-PRG
China Southern: CAN-PEK
Hainan: PEK-HAK
Aeromexico: MEX-JFK
Royal Brunei: BWN-SIN
Jetstar: MEL-OOL
Air Canada: YYZ-YHZ
Kenya Airways: NBO-CDG
Thai: BKK-CNX
Air New Zealand: AKL-SYD
(Not 100% sure if those are all correct)

What about:
Air India
LAN
Thomson
Norwegian
British Airways
Jetairfly
Arke

Thanks,
DB1123

BA operated its first 787 revenue rotation LHR-ARN-LHR (BA780/81) on 9 August 1913 with G-ZBJB. This aircraft operated this short-haul rotation that was used in a crew familiarisation programme ten times between then and 31 August. It was joined on this route by G-ZBJA on 11 August. This aircraft then operated on this familiarization route on 13 occasions.

On 1 September 'JB operated the inaugural BA long-haul 787 rotation, LHR-YYZ-LHR (BA093/92).

Other BA inaugural 787 flight rotations are:

1 October 2013: LHR-EWR-LHR (BA187/86) (op. by 'JA)
