More 787-9 Dreamliners | United Airlines Places Order US$2.5bn With Boeing

CHICAGO: Boeing and United Airlines have announced the carrier is expanding its 787 Dreamliner fleet again with a new order for nine 787-9 airplanes, the longest-range member of the group. The deal is valued at $2.53 billion according to list prices.

United said the order reflects its fleet strategy of replacing older widebody jets with new, advanced airplanes such as the 787-9, which can fly farther and use 20 per cent less fuel with 20 per cent fewer emissions.

The US carrier, which announced a purchase of four 787-9s in July, has now ordered a total of 64 Dreamliners.

The latest deal continues the strong momentum for the 787 Dreamliner family, with net orders now above 100 for the year and just one shy of 1,400 since the start of the program.

“The 787 Dreamliner has been so successful in the marketplace because of great partners like United Airlines that have taken the airplane’s unrivalled performance to open new routes and offer passengers a wonderful travel experience,” said Ihssane Mounir, Senior Vice President of commercial sales and marketing for Boeing.

“It makes all of us very proud to have United place a repeat order since its team has spent a lot of time with the Dreamliner and knows what it can do.”

United began flying the Dreamliner in 2012, using the long range and fuel efficiency of the 787-8 and 787-9 to serve intercontinental routes such as Houston to Sydney and San Francisco to Singapore.

The 787-9 can fly up to 7,635 nautical miles (14,140 kilometres) and serve 290 passengers in a standard configuration.

While the airplane can fly long distances with a range of 6,430 nautical miles, United today announced plans to debut its first 787-10 on premium transcontinental routes in the US, boosting its coast-to-coast schedules to offer passengers travelling between New York/Newark and Los Angeles and San Francisco more flights and more premium seats.
