Turkish Airlines Damages Their Brand New Boeing 787 Dreamliner

Turkish Airlines broke a window on their brand new Boeing 787 Dreamliner during a photoshoot to promote the new fleet addition.

Photos of the damaged window were spreading around popular social media sites. The aircraft was being lit inside with bright lights shining through the windows. The cabin window was exposed to high heat produced from the lamps for a prolong period of time. The heat produced from the lamps used in the photo-shoot caused one of the windows to deform and crack.

The Dreamliner does not have a physical shade that are used on typical airliners. In fact, the 787 is equipped with Electrochromic Window which is could have caused the window to deform and crack when the light was shone onto it.

Fortunately, only one window was damaged. As these parts are replaced very frequently, it shouldn't be an issue for a spare part to be flow in and fitted onto the damaged Dreamliner.
