Boeing’s 787-10 and the 787 at 10
As Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner begins its second decade, the promises that this first composite airliner will fly farther, cheaper and with less fuel burn than previous generations have been clearly demonstrated. 630 aircraft are currently in service with 45 airlines on every continent, with Boeing citing 218 million passengers over 2.9 billion revenue miles during 6.5 million revenue flight hours.
But beyond the numbers, the 787 has opened up numerous new routes since its introduction, adding weight to Boeing’s arguments about the Dreamliner shifting the huband- spoke model towards point-topoint service, although Australia’s position within Airbus A330 range of China has meant that much of the 787 effect here has been adding new nonstop hub flights rather than new Destinations.
