While cruising at 38,000 ft, the Dreamliner dumped fuel to reduce the plane’s weight prior the landing.

The flight made a direct approach to London Heathrow and landed on runway 27R at 15:27 local time.

The 6 year-old Boeing 787-8 (reg. JY-BAG) had to refuel before to resume its journey to Chicago ORD.
