Singapore Airlines Boeing 787-10 | Official Website

The Boeing 787-10, a stretch variant of the Dreamliner series, has not achieved the popularity of its smaller counterparts due to its shorter range, which limits its use for long-haul routes. However, it has found its niche on high-capacity, medium-haul routes. Since entering service in 2018, Boeing has delivered 119 of these aircraft, primarily to major carriers across Asia, the Middle East, and North America.

Singapore Airlines emerged as the leading operator of the 787-10, currently operating 26 of the aircraft and expecting five more, bringing its total to 31. "Singapore Airlines is the largest operator of the 78X, with 26 aircraft currently in service and an additional five on order, bringing its future fleet to 31 aircraft," the report highlights. Singapore Airlines uses the aircraft on regional routes to cities like Nagoya, Chennai, and Tokyo.

United Airlines has completed its order of 21 aircraft, while EVA Air, British Airways, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Etihad Airways, All Nippon Airways, and Saudia also operate the 787-10. Air Canada recently made a significant order of 18 aircraft, with options for 12 more. Emirates, which had initially ordered 40, revised its order due to engine performance concerns, opting for a mix of 15 Boeing 787-10s and 20 Boeing 787-8s instead.

"The future of the 787-10 is gaining momentum," the report notes as Boeing plans a $1 billion investment to increase production in its North Charleston facility. This move is aimed at increasing output to ten Dreamliners monthly by 2026, potentially enhancing the 787-10's range and making it a more versatile option globally.

Airlines like EVA Air and ANA have tailored the aircraft to their specific operational needs. EVA Air uses these jets on routes from Taipei, while ANA's approach includes distinct cabin configurations for different routes. This flexibility enables them to efficiently match aircraft capacity and route demand.

In conclusion, the Boeing 787-10 remains a strategic asset in airline fleets, particularly for high-density regional routes. The ongoing investment and potential range upgrades could help the model establish a stronger presence in long-haul travel markets.
