LATAM-787

Boeing and LATAM Airlines Group have announced an order for 10 Boeing 787 Dreamliners, with options for five more.

Already the region’s largest operator of the 787, LATAM currently operates a fleet of 37 Boeing 787-8 and 787-9 aircraft, and with this new order, the airline expects to grow its Dreamliner fleet to 52 by 2030.

The additional 787s will allow LATAM to expand capacity on key routes and explore new destinations, including its nonstop service to Sydney, Australia, the companies said.

“The Boeing 787 is a much more efficient aircraft, allowing us to continue growing sustainably while reducing our carbon footprint as we drive the growth of our operations. This order will enable us to receive at least two aircraft of this model each year from 2025 until the end of the decade,” said Ramiro Alfonsín, CFO of the LATAM Airlines Group.

“We appreciate LATAM’s continued confidence in the 787 Dreamliner family to further expand its international network from hubs in Santiago, Sao Paulo and Lima,” said Mike Wilson, Boeing vice president of commercial sales for Latin America and the Caribbean.

“As demand for air travel rises, we will continue to support LATAM’s growth strategy and goal of connecting Latin America with the world.”
