Boeing 787-800
From early 2009, Jetstar will take delivery of its first Dreamliner aircraft, the Boeing 787-8 that will also be configured into two cabins - StarClass and economy class. Jetstar will be the first airline in Australia to use these state of the art aircraft, which will have the largest cabin windows on any commercial wide-body aircraft. Passengers can control the light coming through the window using an electrically dimmable window shade control, avoiding the need for a shutter. The aircraft even has an advanced air purification system providing a higher quality of air to every passenger.
