Boeing delivers 787-9 to United

United Airlines has taken delivery of its first Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner and now may name itself "the first airline in North America to fly both the 787-8 and 787-9."

Earlier this year, United announced it will fly the airplane on what will become the longest 787 route: nonstop service between Los Angeles and Melbourne, Australia.

United now operates 11 787 Dreamliners with an additional 54 on order, including the 787-10.
