The Boeing 787 Dreamliner, typically associated with long-haul international flights, is increasingly being used for domestic routes within the United States. According to data from aviation analytics company Cirium, over 2,750 domestic Boeing 787 flights are scheduled in the US this December. These flights are operated by American Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, and United Airlines.
United Airlines accounts for more than half of these flights and operates all three variants of the Dreamliner. American Airlines is noted as the largest operator of domestic 787-8 flights. Hawaiian Airlines, a newcomer to operating the 787, flies exclusively on routes to Los Angeles and Phoenix.
The busiest domestic route next month involves a United Airlines service between Newark Liberty (EWR) and Los Angeles (LAX). This coast-to-coast nonstop route primarily utilizes United's 787-10 fleet with additional daily services by the 787-9. The route will offer over 41,000 seats each way with up to five daily departures.
