The contract includes options for 35 more aircraft and grants the ability to switch to the larger 787-10 or even the 777X. The sides finalized the order in December but didn&#8217;t formally reveal its existence until Tuesday at the Singapore Airshow.<\/p>\n<p>For Thai Airways, the influx of 787s will fuel a major increase in capacity to meet the growing demand for air travel in Southeast Asia. The carrier reached a type\/engine selection decision in just 10 months, accelerating an evaluation process that had hitherto taken three to four years. The airline adopted a total cost of ownership method to reach its decision. Plans call for delivery of the initial 45 aircraft between 2027 and 2033.<\/p>\n<p>The carrier is no stranger to the Boeing 787, with six 787-8s and a pair of Dash 9s in its fleet, and one more of the latter on order. The average fleet age is just over nine years for the 787-8s. Rolls-Royce Trent 1000s power the current aircraft but the airline\u2019s president and CEO, Chai Eamsiri, said that the airline harbored no plans to drop the Rolls-engined aircraft from the fleet any time soon.<\/p>\n<p>Eamsiri noted that the GEnx engines would help the airline\u2014and nation\u2014meet its carbon-neutral goals by 2050. The 787 will reduce fuel use and emissions by 25 percent compared with the aircraft it is to replace.<\/p>\n<p>On the same day as the Thai announcement, Boeing revealed an order for four 787-9s from Royal Brunei Airlines\u2014the first Dreamliner operator in Southeast Asia. The airline celebrated 10 years of operations with the 787 last year. The fleet currently consists of five 787-8s that operate on routes to Asia, Australia, the Middle East, and London. The 787-9 offers a growth in passenger capacity of nearly 20 percent compared with the 787-8.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ainonline.com\/aviation-news\/air-transport\/2024-02-20\/boeing-secures-landmark-thai-787-deal\">https:\/\/www.ainonline.com\/aviation-news\/air-transport\/2024-02-20\/boeing-secures-landmark-thai-787-deal<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aviation News International &#8211; Boeing on Tuesday revealed a sizeable deal with Thai Airways consisting of 45 Boeing 787 Dreamliners, initially in 787-9 form, powered by GE Aerospace GEnx engines.
