The rollout marks the first major milestone in the aircraft\u2019s production ahead of its expected delivery this summer. The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner is the second and newest member of the fuel-efficient 787 family. With the fuselage stretched 20 feet longer than the 787-8, United\u2019s 787-9 will fly more than 30 additional passengers and up to 300 nautical miles farther with the same exceptional environmental performance, including up to 20 percent less fuel burn per seat and up to 20 percent fewer emissions than similarly sized aircraft. The airline is the North American launch customer for the aircraft.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 787-9 is an amazing aircraft that builds on the 787-8\u2019s proven fuel efficiency, performance and customer comfort,\u201d said Ron Baur, United\u2019s vice president of fleet. \u201cWe are excited to add the 787-9 to our Dreamliner fleet as it gives us even more flexibility and range to capitalize on our extensive worldwide route network.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, United announced that it will fly the 787-9 on nonstop service between its hub at Los Angeles International Airport and Melbourne, Australia, beginning in October. The airline will fly the route six times weekly with the aircraft. United will be the first North American carrier to take delivery of the 787-9, and this will be the airline\u2019s first international deployment of the aircraft type.<\/p>\n<p>Over the next several months, the aircraft will move to the next phase of completion, which includes final cabin configuration and painting. United\u2019s 787-9 will be configured with 252 seats \u2013 48 in United BusinessFirst and 204 in United Economy, including 88 Economy Plus seats with added legroom and increased personal space. United\u2019s first 787-9 will also be one of five aircraft used by Boeing in a flight test program to certify the aircraft.
