Boeing and the Qantas Group have joined forces to advance the carrier’s widebody fleet with the latest 787 Dreamliner family. This strategic move entails an order for twelve Dreamliner aircraft, comprising four 787-9 and eight 787-10 airplanes. Qantas’ choice of the 787 Dreamliner underscores its commitment to bolstering fuel efficiency, environmental performance, and sustainability across its operations.
The adoption of the 787 Dreamliner will play a pivotal role in Qantas’ pursuit of its short- and long-term sustainability objectives. These aircraft are designed to reduce fuel consumption and emissions by up to 25%, while also featuring quieter engines compared to their predecessors. Furthermore, the 787 series is adaptable to flying on a blend of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), contributing significantly to emission reduction goals. This acquisition aligns with Qantas’ substantial fleet renewal initiative, which aims to progressively enhance the carrier’s overall fuel efficiency.
