Boeing and LATAM Airlines Group have announced an agreement for the purchase of 10 Boeing 787 Dreamliners, with options for five additional aircraft. This order solidifies LATAM's position as the largest operator of the 787 in South America, expanding its fleet to a projected total of 52 Dreamliners by 2030. The new jets will allow LATAM to enhance capacity on existing routes and open new ones, including nonstop service to Sydney, Australia.
Ramiro Alfonsín, Chief Financial Officer of LATAM Airlines Group, emphasized the environmental benefits of the acquisition: "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."
The Boeing 787 family is noted for its fuel efficiency, which allows airlines to cut fuel consumption and emissions by up to 25% compared to older models. The larger variant, the 787-9, offers increased capacity and range.
