Glad you guys have finally got the aircraft. Hope to see it in October if Staff Travel permit .
The aircraft was brought to Bahrain for the race,i have no interest in F1,i already have apologised for the wrong info at the time, the aircraft then was flown back to KPAE for it final checks,was delivered on friday and had it first flight today to JED , will start LHR during June i think.. Initially the aircraft will have two main destination LHR and CMN.. There is 4 more 787-9 to be delivered by the end of this year and two a320neo, they are moving guys from the 320 in batches to start their type on 78 .. they are on huge shortage of flight deck crew on 320s.
