Welcome aboard:

We’ve said goodbye to Beijing and hello to Guangzhou as the 787 Dream Tour continues through China.

Before we left Beijing, I had the chance to show off the inside of the Dreamliner to waves of people who couldn’t wait to come inside. Before climbing aboard, visitors got to sign our very own “Great Wall.”

It was great to see all the smiles as everyone made their way through the airplane. And make no mistake, the 787 is the perfect airplane for our customers in this thriving market. Over the next 20 years, our Current Market Outlook shows that China will need 5,000 new airplanes worth $600 billion. More than 80 percent of those new airplanes will be needed just to keep up with growth, with the greatest demand for widebodies like the 787.

I’ll end this post with a very fitting picture. We woke up to a snowy morning in Beijing. I’m told that in China, a good snow forsees a fruitful and bountiful year. Here’s hoping this snow is a sign of great things to come for the Dreamliner in 2012.
