China Southern Gets First Dreamliner After Failed A380 Strategy

China Southern Airlines Co., the nation’s biggest carrier by passengers, took delivery of its first Boeing Co. Dreamliner after a two-year struggle to use its Airbus SAS A380s on overseas flights from Beijing.

The 787 arrived today in Guangzhou, where China Southern is based, after Boeing handed over the aircraft last month. The carrier, which has ordered 10 Dreamliners, will become the nation’s only operator of both Dreamliners and superjumbos.
