Insights

Aviation History

United Airlines was North America\'s launch customer for both the 787-9 and 787-10, and the airline is a major Dreamliner operator.

Fleet Rarity

United operates one of the largest 787 fleets globally; the 787-10 is rarer than the -9, with fewer than 100 in operation worldwide as of 2024.

Record Flights

United uses the 787-9 and 787-10 on many long-haul and high-demand transcontinental flights, but not the world\'s longest routes. The 787-9 is sometimes deployed on ultra-long segments.

Safety & Events

The Dreamliner fleet has had various battery and engine teething issues in early years, but is now reliable. United has not suffered major incidents with the fleet.

Future Outlook

These aircraft are all in active service and expected to fly for another 10–20 years.
