The Boeing 787 has touched down on Australian soil for the first time, with development aircraft N787BA (msn ZA001) arriving in Sydney this morning at the start of a three day visit.
ZA001 – the very first 787 to fly – touched down on Sydney’s Runway 34L at about 1100 this morning, flying in from a three day visit with Air New Zealand in Auckland. The aircraft will be the centrepiece of Qantas’s 91st anniversary celebrations tomorrow, before flying to Melbourne on the 17th.
