The Boeing 787-9 is a significant member of the Dreamliner family, well-known for its composite structure, fuel efficiency, and use on medium and long-haul missions. ANA was the launch customer for the entire 787 program.

Fleet Rarity

ANA operates one of the largest 787 fleets. The 787-9 itself is becoming increasingly common with over 500 in service globally.

Record Flights

787s are used on some of the longest non-stop routes including Tokyo-Brussels and Tokyo-San Jose.

Safety & Events

The 787 had some startup reliability issues (notably battery fires) in early service, but this frame type is known for safety since then.

Expected to remain in service for at least two more decades.
