Hainan Airlines to fly Boeing 787 to all N American routes

Hainan Airlines Co Ltd, the fourth largest carrier in China, plans to put its entire Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet in its North American routes next year.

The carrier, currently running four Boeing 787 Dreamliners, operates three routes to North America: Seattle, Chicago and Toronto. It plans to add Boston to its list of destinations next year. On Tuesday, Hainan Airlines replaced its Airbus A340 with the Boeing 787 for its route from Beijing to Chicago.

"The Boeing 787 Dreamliner will be used on routes to North America," Hainan Airlines said in a statement.

The airline's Boeing 787 aircraft has 213 seats.
