United Airlines has launched its first revenue flight with the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner today, from Houston (IAH) to Chicago (ORD), flight number 1116.

The flight left IAH at 7:20am (central time) from gate E5 and is scheduled to arrive at ORD at 9:51am (central time) at gate C20.

United Airlines is the first airline in North American to get the all new airplane made from composite materials.

There was a slight difference between the published scheduled arrival time and the arrival time displayed on the display at the gate area, for yet unknown reasons.
