All Nippon Airways' (ANA) Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft prepares to take off as ANA employees wave at Narita airport in Narita, east of Tokyo October 26, 2011. The Boeing Co 787 Dreamliner takes its first paying passengers aloft on Wednesday, showing off a carbon-composite design its maker says is lighter, more economical to fly and more comfortable than its metal rivals currently plying the airways. The special charter flight by the twin-engined jet from Tokyo to Hong Kong comes after years of delays as Boeing engineers had to deal with glitches and parts delays, leaving some $16 billion of inventory at Boeing's plants.
