Air Europa orders Boeing 787-9

Air Europa has placed an order for 14 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners. The order was already booked in December 2014 and was previously attributed to an unidentified customer on the Boeing Orders & Deliveries website.


Air Europa now has a combined total of 22 787-8s and 787-9s on order as it continues its transition to an all-Boeing long-haul fleet. The first 787-8 Dreamliners are about to be delivered in 2016. Air Europa wants to increase its number of flights and destinations by around 50 percent.

Several Spanish suppliers are part of the 787 Dreamliner programme, including Aciturri, ITP (through its participation in Rolls Royce Trent 1000 engine) and M. Torres, among others.

Based at Palma de Mallorca Airport, with a key hub at Adolfo Suarez-Madrid Barajas Airport, Air Europa has grown to be one of the largest airlines in Spain serving more than 40 destinations across Europe and the Americas. (Photo: Boeing)
