Boeing 787 Dreamliner | Official Website

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the Airbus A350 are two major aircraft contending for supremacy in the widebody airliner market. While each serves as the flagship model for its respective manufacturer, determining which of these aircraft is more expensive is an intricate task due to their variants and evolving market dynamics.

The Boeing 787 family consists of three variants, the 787-8, 787-9, and 787-10, each with varying capacities and ranges. The smallest, the 787-8, accommodates 248 passengers over 7,305 nautical miles and has a market value ranging from $52.96 million to $115.77 million. The most popular variant, 787-9, offers a larger passenger capacity—up to 296—and a greater range of 7,565 nautical miles. Its market value is between $75.66 million and $161.12 million. The 787-10 is the largest, carrying up to 336 passengers over a shorter range of 6,330 nautical miles, with a market value from $101.42 million to $175 million.

The Airbus A350, available in two variants, showcases considerable market value as well. The A350-900, entering service in 2015, has a market value between $83.95 million and $167.11 million and a range of 8,500 nautical miles. "The Airbus A350-1000 commands the highest market value of any A350 or Boeing 787 aircraft variant," ranging from $110.66 million to $181.85 million. This variant is noted for a remarkable range of 8,900 nautical miles, surpassing any other aircraft listed apart from the A350-900ULR.

Understanding the fluctuations in aircraft values necessitates consideration of external factors, like the ongoing global tariff war, which could significantly influence prices. AerCap highlights a concern, stating that a "tit-for-tat tariffs of 25%" could raise the Boeing 787's price by approximately $40 million. This uncertainty highlights the potential for airlines to prefer Airbus if Boeing's prices become untenable.

"The current trade war is putting a huge amount of uncertainty on the price of these aircraft," warns AerCap. Boeing's vulnerability to tariffs could impact its competitiveness in the market compared to Airbus, whose aircraft might be less affected by such economic tensions. As changes unfold, airlines like Delta and Ryanair have indicated they are reluctant to absorb additional costs from tariffs, potentially delaying deliveries if necessary.

Thus, the cost implications for these aircraft remain fluid, influenced by economic and industry trends as manufacturers and airlines navigate these dynamic conditions.
