摘要

United Airlines has received its initial Boeing 787-10, making the Chicago carrier the first operator of all three Dream-liner variants and the first to take the largest model in the Americas. Boeing handed over the aircraft (N14001) at its North Charleston assembly line in South Carolina on 5 November. "The 787-10 is an excellent addition to United's fleet," says Gerry Laderman, the carrier's chief financial officer. "It offers superior fuel efficiency while providing a more comfortable customer experience on board." United will debut the 787-10 - which it configures with 318 seats, including 44 updated Polaris business-class seats and 21 in the premium-economy cabin - on flights between Newark and Los Angeles on 7 January 2019. The aircraft will begin flying the Newark-San Francisco route on 14 February.
