[markis10]

Jetstar has today announced its Melbourne to coughet route will be serviced by a Boeing 787 Dreamliner from 9 February 2014.*
The announcement of the newest 787 route closely follows the commencement of Dreamliner services between Sydney and coughet yesterday.
Jetstar Australia and New Zealand CEO David Hall said the airline now had three 787s operating on international routes.
“We’re delighted to be offering this game changing aircraft on services to some of our most popular long haul leisure destinations,” Mr Hall said.
“Our crew are telling us customers are really impressed by the onboard experience with many commenting on the larger windows and spacious feel in the cabin.
“It’s a testament to the hard work and professionalism of our team that we’ve been able to launch four new 787 routes in the first 50 days of international operations.”

Good to see them out doing the job they are intended for.

not sure if it's aircraft related or other issues have been causing it, but the 787 hasn't exactly an auspicious start on MEL-HKT.

2 hours + delays on three out of the four 787 operated JQ17's so far

All's fine then. At least the new type is matching the on time performance of the old.
