LATAM Airlines Group has announced the purchase of 10 787 Dreamliners with options for another five. As the region’s largest 787 operator, this latest order for fuel-efficient 787-9 jets increases LATAM’s investment in one of the most modern fleets in Latin America.
The South American airline currently operates 37 787-8s and 787-9s and, including this latest order, expects to grow the fleet to 52 Dreamliners by 2030. The 787 enables the airline to maximise capacity on popular routes and launch new routes including its nonstop flight to Sydney, Australia.
“The Boeing 787 is a much more efficient aircraft, allowing us to continue growing sustainably while reducing our carbon footprint as we drive the growth of our operations. This order will enable us to receive at least two aircraft of this model each year from 2025 until the end of the decade,” said Ramiro Alfonsín, Chief Financial Officer of the LATAM Airlines Group.
