United Airlines is expanding its 787 Dreamliner fleet, exercising options to order 50 additional 787-9 airplanes from Boeing.
A United Airlines flight lifts off at O'Hare International Airport on December 13, 2022 in Chicago, Illinois.
The order from United provides the airline additional flexibility as the company modernizes its global fleet over the next decade. The 787 is the best-selling widebody in history with more than 1,800 orders from 87 customers – including more than 870 repeat orders from 56 repeat customers. In the last year, customers have placed nearly 350 orders and commitments for the 787 family, according to Adam Mentz, spokesperson for Boeing.
