British Airways (BA) has launched passenger flights with the Boeing 787 Dreamliner as it reaches the final stage of its preparations for its entry into service on long-haul routes from September 1, 2013. One of the UK carrier’s two aircraft operated a special charter flight, BA9116C, from and to Edinburgh Airport on the evening of August 8, 2013 with a specially invited passenger manifest. This list included senior business leaders from Scotland, some of BA’s frequent flyers and other commercially important passengers, representatives from the airline and airport and Routesonline popped along for the ride!
The Dreamliner arrived in the Scottish capital on the afternoon of August 8, 2013 having already performed an air-to-air sortie with a World War Two Spitfire, completed a number of flypasts of the factory of aircraft engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce and made a fleeting visit to Newcastle, another destination served in the BA domestic network with, like Edinburgh, strong long-haul connectivity via London Heathrow.
