Boeing unveils partial Dreamliner interior

Posted on: 04 February 2010

Boeing has offered a glimpse of some of the onboard amenities that will be available to passengers on its 787 Dreamliner.

The carrier unveiled the new plane's interior components for the first time on the third test-flight aircraft, which will be undergoing trials later in the month.

Passengers taking flights on the Dreamliner will be welcomed onto the plane through sweeping arches and will be able to enjoy "dynamic" lighting in the cabin.

There will also be a number of features to enhance comfort and convenience for passengers, including larger lavatories, more spacious luggage bins and electronic window shades with adjustable transparency.

Tom Galantowicz, Boeing's director of 787 interiors, said the third test-flight aircraft had been specially configured to assess its passenger experience aspects.

He added: "Our team is making great progress and is looking forward to getting this airplane in the air later this month."

The Dreamliner has been ordered by several carriers that offer flights out of the UK, including Virgin Atlantic, United Airlines and British Airways.
