THAI Welcomes First Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner
18 September, 2017/in News /by Thai Airways
17 September 2017, Bangkok – Thai Airways International
Public Company Limited (THAI) today welcomed its first Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner
aircraft at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport, Thailand.
The delivery flight TG8909 departed from Boeing’s Everett
Delivery Centre, Seattle, Washington, U.S.A. directly to Bangkok, Thailand on
16 September at 21.20 hours (local time) and arrived at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi
Airport on 17 September 2017 at 01.55 hours (Bangkok time). The special
delivery flight was piloted by THAI Captain Kittivaj Mongkonpruthangkoon, Chief
Technical Pilot of 787, and Captain Araya Daengchai; along with co-pilot
Chawanut Pradidpatanachan.
THAI has six Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft that
entered its fleet as of 2014. THAI’s first 787-9 Dreamliner was royally
bestowed the name “PHATTHANA NIKHOM”, with aircraft registration No. HS-TWA.
The aircraft is equipped with Rolls- Royce Trent 1000 engines. The culmination
of advanced engines, aerodynamics and composite structures contribute to 20
percent reduced fuel consumption and 20 percent less emissions, as well as less
noise around airport boundaries and nearby communities.The Boeing 787-9 Dreamlinerhasextended
capacity and range, being 20 feet (6
meters) longer than the 787-8, thereby it can transport more passengers and
cargo.
Mrs. Usanee Sangsingkeo, THAI Acting President, said “We
are delighted to bring the new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner fuel-efficient aircraft
into our fleet. The Boeing 787-9 demonstrates our commitment to operating the
most technologically advanced aircraft for passenger comfort. This type of
aircraft is currently the most technologically advanced aircraft as well as the
most modern and efficient aircraft, that meets customers’ expectations.”
Dr. Dinesh Keskar, Senior Vice President of Asia Pacific
and India Sales, Boeing Commercial Airplanes, said “Boeing is honored to
deliver the first 787-9 Dreamliner to Thai Airways International. The 787-9
Dreamliner will allow THAI to fly longer distances and to new destinations
directly from Thailand – such as nonstop to North America – while providing
their passengers with their exceptional onboard experience complimented by the
787 Dreamliner’s well-known and loved passenger features such as the largest
window of any jet.”
THAI’s Dreamliner interior is based on the Contemporary
Thai design concept, with 298 seats in a two-class cabin. Each of the 30 Royal Silk Class seats can
recline to a long bed in full-flat, 180-degree position. The seats are
shell-typed seats, and arranged in a 1-2-1 abreast configuration allowing for
privacy and easy access to the aisles. The 268 Economy Class seats are arranged
in a 3-3-3 abreast configuration.
THAI is proud to be the first airline to install 787-9
with the newest inflight entertainment system of its kind, the Panasonic system
eX3, for all passengers on board its Dreamliner. Royal Silk Class monitors are 16-inch while
Economy Class monitors are 11-inch with screen-swipe technology, just like the
swipe features on smartphone and tablet devices. Inflight connectivity (IFC) is
installed in the 787-9 with high speed Wi-Fi (Panasonic Ku band).
This first 787-9 Dreamliner will operate its first commercial
flight on the route from Bangkok to Chiang Mai and Phuket from 23-30 September
2017, then from Bangkok to Singapore from
1 October – 15 November 2017. After the delivery of the
second 787-9 aircraft, THAI will operate roundtrip flights from Bangkok to
Auckland, New Zealand and Bangkok to Taipei, Taiwan beginning on 16 November
2017. Source: thaiairways.com
