First North American 787-9 Dreamliner Delivered To United

Will Become First U.S. Carrier To Operate Both Variants Of The Airplane

United Airlines has taken delivery of its first 787-9 Dreamliner. United will become the first airline in North America to operate both the 787-8 and 787-9 variants of the Dreamliner family when the airline launches 787-9 service later this month.

"We're proud that United has become the North American launch customer for both the 787-8 and 787-9, marking another important milestone in the successful history of Boeing and United working together," said Brad McMullen, vice president of North America Sales, Boeing Commercial Airplanes.

Earlier this year, United announced it will fly the airplane on what will become the longest 787 route -- nonstop service between Los Angeles and Melbourne, Australia.

United operates 11 787 Dreamliners with an additional 54 on order, including the 787-10.
