Boeing and AerCap onj July 21, 2026 announced that the leasing industry’s biggest 787 Dreamliner customer placed a new order for 15 787-9 jets. This latest purchase increases AerCap’s 787 Dreamliner portfolio to approximately 140 airplanes.
The agreement includes substitution rights for the 787-10, giving AerCap the flexibility to switch to the larger 787 Dreamliner variant that delivers more capacity and new opportunities for its airline customers.
AerCap was the first lessor to take delivery of the 787 Dreamliner in 2013. The 787 Dreamliner has since become the standard for new generation widebody airplanes, opening more than 540 new nonstop routes between city pairs that were never previously served and carrying more than 1.3 billion passengers since entering service.
