In May 2016, Deer Jet took over the operation of the world’s first BBJ 787 VVIP, and made its maiden flight to Hong Kong in September. Deer Jet has branded the aircraft as “787 Dream Jet”, and launched a renewed brand philosophy of “Making Travel an Art”, as it builds on its reputation as a world leading service provider for premium business travel.
On 4th May, an airplane attracted many eyes in the UK. Deer Jet, a global leading business aviation company, is marking the European debut of the world’s first 787‘Dream Jet’, making a brief stop at London Stansted Airport (Harrods Aviation FBO) before continuing with the series of exhibitions “Dreams Encounter the World” across the globe.
This B787-8 Dream Jet is capable of flying non-stop for 18.5hours, 16,000 kilometers, equivalent to London to Perth, Australia, non-stop. The aircraft’s fuselage is made from carbon fiber material, making it lighter and more fuel efficient.
Newly circulated clean air is accelerated in the cabin meaning a healthy environment for passengers as dust and any bacteria is filtered in the process of airflow, making for a more comfortable and healthier flying experience.
Most conventional passenger jets have a cabin pressure of around 7,500 to 8,000 feet above sea level, which Boeing says contributes to passengers feeling unwell in flight. The 787’s cabin pressure is set to 6,000 feet at the height of 30,000 feet. Tests have proved that between sea level and 6,000 feet people remain perfectly comfortable on board even on an 18-hour journey.

With the 787 Dream Jet as its flying platform, Deer Jet has chosen the best pilots and first class stewards to deliver ultimate services and a superior travel experience for travelers. Pilots have over 2,000 hours international flight experience, plus more than 10 thousands of total flying hours. A total of 12 pilots from almost 1,000 pilots flying 787s for HNA Group have been selected to be part of the “Dream Team”.
Deer Jet’s “Dream Team” stewards use 7-star hospitality standards, as true inflight butlers, evoking different feelings for the variety of customers they serve, in any given flight. In line with this the style and colour of cabin is frequently changed. Deer Jet curated spaces are decorated with hand-picked amenities and bespoke collections of precious crystals, cushions, silverware, and porcelain. Exclusively for the London exhibition, the 1836 Savile Raw established Holland and Sherry showcased its bespoke product interiors collections on board, adding British style to the 787 Dream Jet’s cabin.
Deer Jet is also launching exclusive, bespoke travel packages aboard the 787 Dream Jet starting with the “Hong Kong to Tahiti Dream Journey”. It features a seven-night charter package including complimentary accommodation at the Presidential Suite of St. Regis Bora Bora Resort. It plans to add more itineraries in the future as part of its goal to create seamless travel to fulfill its vision of “Making travel an art”, through best-in-class service inspired by Deer Jet’s values of “elegance”, “performance” and “distinction”.
