Boeing Dreamliner: a "Game Changer" for Aviation

Boeing Co. is betting that its 787 Dreamliner will shrink the world for travellers by allowing airlines to fly directly to overseas markets that are currently underserved…. “Boeing sees the future of aviation not as a bigger plane like the Airbus A380,” the massive double-decker plane that seats between 500 and 825 passengers, depending on the configuration of the cabins, said Desautels Faculty of Management at McGill University business professor Karl Moore said. “Boeing's vision is that the 787 is the plane for thinner routes.”
