American Airlines has received its 50th Boeing 787<\/strong> today. Recently, the carrier has been actively pursuing Dreamliners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AA 787s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 777 and 787 are the only two widebody aircraft that American Airlines operates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"American<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The largest airline in the world operates 67 777 aircraft<\/strong>, including 20 -300ER models and 47 -200 models. American Airlines has 118 widebody aircraft, or 12% of its fleet, between the 777 and 787. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

American received its first Dreamliner aircraft in 15 months on August 10, 2022. The 787-8 aircraft was shipped from the Charleston, South Carolina, facility of Boeing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The -8 that American Airlines got can travel up to 7,305 nautical miles and has a cabin capacity of 234 passengers (13,530 km). <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAA Concerns <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When the FAA voiced concerns about delivery inspections in May 2021, Boeing was forced to halt deliveries<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FAA had expressed concerns about production issues in 2020, thus this wasn’t the first time Boeing had to halt 787 delivery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two airworthiness guidelines were among the FAA’s worries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boeing needs to have “a comprehensive plan for the re-work that it must execute on a substantial proportion of new 787s in storage,”<\/strong> according to the FAA. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The FAA approved that plan, allowing Boeing to continue shipping the projected 120 finished 787s that were previously on hold at its plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emirates Airlines was frustrated by the 787’s delivery delays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inaugural 787 flight for Lufthansa<\/strong> will take place on Wednesday. On Wednesday, the plane will make six trips between its hubs in Frankfurt and Munich. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
