The
deal includes 10 787-9s with options for 10 more, adding to JAL's current fleet
of more than 50 of the popular widebody jet.
"We
are delighted to announce the addition of 787 Dreamliners to our fleet. This
order underscores our commitment to accelerating the introduction of the modern
and more fuel-efficient aircraft to deliver unparalleled service to our
customers and further reduce CO₂ emissions. We greatly appreciate the
strong relationship and support from Boeing, which has been instrumental in our
efforts to modernize our fleet and expand our international routes,"
said Yukio Nakagawa, JAL Executive Officer of Procurement.
Once
this order is finalized and posted to Boeing's Orders & Deliveries website,
the carrier will have 10 787s and 21 737 MAX jets on order.
In
recent years, JAL has leveraged the versatility of the 787 to open new
point-to-point markets from Tokyo to San Diego, Boston and Bangalore.
With a range of up to 7,565 nautical miles (14,010 km), the 787-9 possesses the
longest-range capability within the 787 Dreamliner family, enabling JAL to open
new routes and adding flexibility to its existing network.
"Japan
Airlines continues to be a global ambassador for the 787 Dreamliner and this
latest agreement is a testament to the versatility and efficiency of the 787-9
for the airline's key long-haul routes," said Brad McMullen, Boeing
senior vice president of Commercial Sales and Marketing. "We value our
long-standing partnership with Japan Airlines and are pleased that they have
re-selected the 787 Dreamliner as they continue to modernize their world-class
fleet."
Since
revenue service began in 2011, the 787 family has opened more than 400 new
nonstop routes around the world and received more than 1,900 orders from 87
customers – more than half from repeat customers, like Japan Airlines which
operates both the 787-8 and 787-9.
