Boeing Delivers Korean Air's First 787-9 Dreamliner

Flag carrier becomes the first in Korea to operate the 787

Boeing  and Korean Air today celebrated the delivery of the airline's first 787-9 Dreamliner. The Seoul-based carrier will be the first Korean carrier to operate the 787-9 Dreamliner in the country. The airline is scheduled to launch domestic flights to Jeju from Seoul (Gimpo) for a month as part of the required certification period, before launching long-haul international routes to Toronto, Madrid, and Zurich later this year. 
"The 787 Dreamliner will be a key member of Korean Air's fleet as we continue to introduce next-generation airplanes to our customers," said Walter Cho, president of Korean Air. "The aircraft is fuel efficient, quiet, has lower operating costs and is spacious and very elegant.  The cabin features are impressive and will ensure maximum comfort for Korean Air's passengers."
Korean Air is scheduled to introduce five 787-9 Dreamliners to its fleet this year with another five joining the fleet by 2019.
"This milestone delivery adds yet another chapter in our long and successful relationship with Korean Air," said Rick Anderson, vice president of Northeast Asia Sales, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "Korean Air continues to demonstrate its leadership in the global commercial airline industry and we are confident that the market-leading efficiency and comfort of the 787-9 Dreamliner will build onto their long-term success for many years to come."
The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner is the second member of the super-efficient, passenger-pleasing 787 family. Both the 787-8 and 787-9 bring the economics of large jets to the middle of the market, with 20 percent less fuel use and 20 percent fewer emissions than the airplanes they replace. At 20 feet (6 meters) longer than the 787-8, the 787-9 extends the family in capacity and range, flying more passengers and more cargo farther. 
Korean Air, with a fleet of 175 aircraft, is one of the world's top 20 airlines, and operates more than 460 flights per day to 132 cities in 46 countries. It is a founding member of the SkyTeam alliance, which together with its 20 members, offers its 665 million annual passengers a worldwide system of more than 17,343 daily flights covering 1,062 destinations in 177 countries.

TRUMP Y LA AVIACIÓN EN USA

El peculiar e inefable presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, ha calificado de "obsoleto" y "desfasado" el sistema de control del tráfico aéreo, así como la flota de aviones y los aeropuertos del país.

Don Donald, dijo a los representantes de United Continental, Delta Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Alaska Air y responsable de los aeropuertos de Los Angeles y Atlanta, que recibian "malos equipos" para sus aeronaves y aeropuertos. 

Dice el don presidente "queremos que nuestro sistema de transporte aéreo tenga el mejor servicio al pasajero con el mínimo números de retrasos y agregó, sin despeinarse "nos estamos gastando miles de millones de dólares" en un sistema de control aéreo que "está completamente desfasado".
