A consortium of Hollywood movies stars has confirmed an order for a single Boeing 787 which it plans to use as a flying restaurant.
The aircraft, dubbed the "Dreamdiner", will be based at LAX and will make daily two-hour flights along the coast of Californina while VIP diners/passengers enjoy condon bleu cuisine during the flight.
The consortium of movie stars operates under the name In-flight Movie Stars (I. M.Stars) and includes well-known aviation enthusiasts Harrison Ford, John Travolta and Tom Cruise.
The aircraft will be configured to seat 50 diners in one sitting, all of which will enjoy the Michelin Star culinary offerings of French chef Monsieur Fou d'Avril.
The VIP confirguration of the aircraft is set to be the first of its kind and has presented Boeing with a number of unique challenges.
A Boeing spokesman said that stopping the candles from falling over when the aircraft banked was proving tricky, but that they had recommended a technical solution to reduce the risk of turbulence which involved removing Soup of the Day from the menu.
Delivery of the Dreamdiner is scheduled for 1st April 2011
