United Airlines Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner | Official Website

The Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner marked its seventh anniversary on April 3, commemorating the first revenue-generating flight by Singapore Airlines from Changi to Bangkok. Currently, 10 airlines operate this largest variant of the Dreamliner. Singapore Airlines, the launch customer, holds the largest fleet with 26 units. Meanwhile, United Airlines operates the longest nonstop route of the 787-10 from Chicago O'Hare to Tokyo Haneda.

Despite being the largest Dreamliner variant, the 787-10 has the shortest range within the series, with a potential range of 6,330 nautical miles. Importantly, its maximum takeoff weight will increase this year, enhancing its payload and distance capabilities.

In examining the longest nonstop flights operated by the 787-10, data indicates that the route from Chicago O'Hare to Tokyo Haneda operated by United remains the longest. "United: Chicago to Tokyo," as noted by the airline, highlights that this service has a lengthy history of operations. Cirium Diio data reveals United initially utilized the 257-seat 787-9 on the route starting in July 2020, switching to the 318-seat 787-10 in March 2023. Currently, this service runs daily.
