feature overview

The Boeing 787-9 is full of innovative features that are brand new to aviation. Larger windows reveal extraordinary views and bathe the cabin in natural light. The environment within the cabin is enhanced with cleaner, fresher air, higher humidity and a lower cabin altitude. This helps you arrive at your destination refreshed. Remarkable fuel efficiency also reduces the impact on the planet.

The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner uses 20% less fuel than similar aircraft, making it an environmentally responsible choice.

kinder to the planet

The cabin altitude is the equivalent of 6,000ft, compared with the average cabin altitude of 8,000ft. Cabin humidity has also been adjusted for flying comfort. Higher humidity helps our customers arrive at their destinations feeling refreshed. You’ll disembark with a bounce in your step, ready to take on the world.
