King of the skies briefly touches down to rest its wings

One of the world’s largest commercial aircraft touched down in Dublin, but Irish aviation fans won’t get to fly on it from any Irish airport anytime soon.

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner still provided plenty of interest for enthusiasts as they got a rare sight of the 60m-winged jumbo jet.

The visit to Dublin was organised by Boeing in order to showcase their newest model to potential buyers attending the European Airfinance Conference in Dublin.
