A Boeing 787/8 'Dreamliner' aircraft flew to Malta for the first time this afternoon.

The aircraft was operating a Polish Airlines charter.

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is a long-range, mid-size wide-body, twin-engine jet airliner. Its variants seat 242 to 335 passengers in typical 3-class seating configurations.

It is Boeing's most fuel-efficient airliner and the world's first major airliner to use composite materials as the primary material in the construction of its airframe. The 787 was designed to be 20% more fuel efficient than the 767 it is replacing.
