Boeing Gains Clearance for New Dreamliner Configuration

ByEdward Pizzarello

As reported by the Wall Street Journal today, Boeing has received clearance from the FAA for the Dreamliner outfitted with GE engines.

It’s normal for the FAA to require “clearance” of a plane multiple times for different engines.  The first Dreamliner to receive clearance had Rolls-Royce engines.

Why is this significant to me?  Japan Airlines is the launch customer for the Dreamliner outfitted with GE engines.  That means the plane I won a seat on for the inaugural BOS-NRT flight should be delivered shortly!

My goal in life is to fill my family’s passports with stamps, creating buckets of memories along the way. You’ll find me writing about realistic ways for normal people to travel the world, whether you’re on a budget or enjoy luxury. I also enjoy taking us on the occasional detour to explore the inner workings of the travel industry.
