Boeing, Air New Zealand finalise order for eight 787-10 dreamliner jets:
26 September 2019: Boeing and Air New Zealand have finalised an order for eight 787-10 Dreamliner airplanes valued at $2.7 billion at list prices. As the carrier is recognised for its long-range flights and global network, it will integrate the Dreamliner model into its world-class fleet of 787-9 and 777 airplanes from 2022 to strategically grow its business.
The airplane deal includes options to increase the number of aircraft from eight up to 20, and substitution rights that permit a switch from the larger 787-10 to smaller 787-9s, or a combination of the two models for future fleet and network flexibility.
The global launch customer for the 787-9 was Air New Zealand and currently they operate 13 of the Dreamliner variant. With another 787-9 on the way and the 787-10 airplanes in the future, the airline's Dreamliner fleet will grow up to 22. The new Dreamliner aircraft will replace Air New Zealand's fleet of eight 777-200ERs. Air New Zealand's widebody fleet also consists of seven 777-300ERs.
