Question

When will Boeing finally make its first flight of their 787, and when the first delivery (to whom by the way)?

Answer 1

First delivery is to ANA. First flight and delivery are hard to pinpoint right now cus of the delays and the rumors swirling about more delays bur right now, First Flight was supposed to be April i think and deliveries later in the year.

Answer 2

Boeing is not saying exactly when first flight is, yet.

Answer 3

this is the only answer I could find:  The Boeing 787 has not yet entered service. The first 787 is scheduled to enter passenger service in early 2009 with All Nippon Airways.

Answer 4

The launch customer and the first to fly the aircraft is ALL NIPPON AIRWAYS (ANA).  The date for first flight and first delivery has slipped about 9 months and there is talk of another possible three month delay.  According to their web site, twenty one 787s are in various stages of construction including several examples which are to be used as test vehicles and are not intended to ever be delivered.  We will likely see the first flight in the late part of this year and first deliveries in spring 2009.  This is still all up in the air, no pun intended.
