Boeing 787 Dreamliner | Wikipedia

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner, a modern marvel in aviation, continues to play a significant role in global air travel as of 2025. Unlike some of its predecessors that are no longer in production, the 787 remains a pivotal part of many airlines' fleets.

As of March 7, 2025, the order backlog for the Boeing 787 stands at several hundred units. This indicates sustained demand from airlines worldwide, seeking to capitalize on the aircraft's fuel efficiency and passenger comfort features.

Major operators of the Boeing 787 include prominent carriers across different continents. In North America, United Airlines and American Airlines are among the largest users. Both have integrated substantial numbers of this jet into their fleets to serve domestic and international routes efficiently.

In Europe, British Airways and Lufthansa rank as top operators. These airlines utilize the Dreamliner extensively for long-haul flights due to its advanced technology that enhances operational performance while reducing environmental impact.

Asia sees All Nippon Airways (ANA) and Japan Airlines (JAL) leading as primary operators. They were early adopters of this model and continue to expand their fleets with additional orders.

Meanwhile, Middle Eastern carrier Qatar Airways also features prominently among major operators with a significant number of Boeing 787s serving various global destinations from its Doha hub.

The continued popularity and expanding backlog highlight not only commercial success but also an ongoing evolution in airline strategies focusing on modern, efficient aircraft like the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
