Boeing 787 Dreamliner airline deliveries

Overview

Airlines are beginning to integrate new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft into their fleets. Air Astana completed initial flight testing for its first Dreamliner in South Carolina, with plans to enter service in 2027 to modernize its long-haul operations.

Air New Zealand has taken delivery of its first Dreamliner in seven years, specifically the ZK-NZT. This aircraft is noted as the first certified Dreamliner with increased maximum take-off weight capability, intended to provide more flexibility for passengers and cargo on long-haul routes. While the airline plans to introduce new interior features like the Skynest economy sleeping pod, the installation has been delayed pending regulatory certification.
