American Airlines operates various domestic routes such as Chicago O'Hare to Dallas Fort Worth and Los Angeles to Dallas Fort Worth. Internationally, it flies from Dallas/Fort Worth to Tokyo Haneda and Philadelphia to London Heathrow.

United Airlines serves domestic routes like Washington Dulles to Los Angeles and Denver to San Francisco. Its international routes include Denver to London Heathrow and San Francisco to Singapore.

Delta Air Lines does not operate the Boeing 787 despite initial plans due to a shift in focus towards Airbus after merging with Northwest Airlines.

Boeing highlights that the Dreamliner's technology improves fuel efficiency by 25% and enhances passenger experience with features like larger windows and smoother ride technology.

"The industry-leading technology of the 787 Dreamliner creates remarkable opportunities for airlines around the world," states Boeing. "Innovative interiors provide spacious cabins...and cabin enhancements that allow passengers to arrive at their destinations feeling more refreshed."
