About
The Boeing 787-9 is a stretched version of the 787-8, extended by 20 feet (6 meters) to accommodate more passengers while maintaining exceptional range capability. Launched in 2014, the 787-9 quickly became the most popular Dreamliner variant with 654 deliveries as of 2025. At 206 feet long, it typically seats 296 passengers in two-class configuration and can fly an impressive 7,635 nautical miles—enough to connect nearly any two cities on Earth. The 787-9 offers the perfect balance of capacity, range, and economics, making it the backbone of many airlines' long-haul fleets. It combines the Dreamliner's revolutionary passenger comfort features with versatility for both ultra-long-haul and regional wide-body routes.
