787 Dreamliner is the 'best-selling plane of its type'
June 13, 2025
|Scottish Daily Express
YESTERDAY'S crash was the first involving a Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
The aircraft type, which entered service in 2011, is described by the US manufacturer as “the best-selling passenger widebody of all time” - with more than 2,000 orders from 89 customers.
The planes have carried more than one billion passengers on nearly five million flights.
Air India has 34 in its fleet, according to aviation analysis firm Cirium. It is also flown by several other airlines serving the UK, including British Airways, Virgin Atlantic and Tui Airways.
Concerns
The Dreamliner increases fuel efficiency by up to 25% compared with the older planes it replaces, due to modern engines, lightweight materials and improved aerodynamics.
Recent safety concerns over Boeing aircraft have generally related to the 737 Max.

Stinking rich will not pay your tax, Reeves
OK, SO I may not be burdened with a maths O-level — though I bet my 1977 D grade would be the equivalent of an A* today — but even I can do the basic calculations on this one. Rachel Reeves' “squeeze the rich till they suffocate” budget plan is an out and out stinker and doomed not only to ignominious failure but to subjecting people who’ve worked like the blazes to make ends meet all their lives to hellish worry and punitive suffering.
