  • Tagged as: 787, American Airlines, ANA, Chase, Delta, Delta Air Lines, Dreamliner, Seoul
The image shows a close-up view of an ANA (All Nippon Airways) Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft parked at an airport gate. The aircraft's fuselage prominently displays the "787" and "Dreamliner" logos. The engine, with the Rolls-Royce logo, is visible in the foreground. Two ground crew members wearing helmets and uniforms are standing near an open cargo door at the rear of the aircraft. Another ANA aircraft can be seen in the background. The scene is set on a cloudy day with a ship visible in the distance.

ANA’s 787s are up for a massive engine replacement project, making the aircraft type the “dot” in this week’s episode. And lots of other airlines might be affected by similar issues. New 787 routes and significant shifts coming to American’s TATL route map in the coming months.
