An All Nippon Airways’ Boeing 787-9 aircraft will appear in the flying display at the Farnborough air show, the first time a Japanese carrier has made a flight demonstration at the show.
“The decision to operate the demonstration flight reflects ANA's status as the launch customer and the largest operator of 787 series of aircraft,” says the carrier in a statement.
The demonstration will, however, be conducted by Boeing with a yet-to-be delivered aircraft.
The aircraft will sport a special livery featuring two symbols of Japan, Mount Fuji and cherry blossoms.
Flight Fleets Analyzer shows that ANA operates 36 787-8s and 11 -9s. It has firm orders for 33-9s and three -10s. Its 787s are powered by Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines.
In 2015, a Vietnam Airlines -9 participated in the flying display at the Paris air show. The year before, a Boeing -9 test aircraft appeared in the flying display at Farnborough.
