Delta Air Lines recently ordered the Boeing 787-10, the largest member of the Dreamliner family. While the actual service entry of the new model is still years away, the aircraft remains a relevant topic of discussion among analysts and industry enthusiasts due to its implications for the future of the airline’s long-haul strategy. Originally announced in January 2026, Delta’s order covers 30 firm 787-10 jets and options for up to 30 more, marking the airline’s first direct 787 purchase and introducing an entirely new fleet type into its widebody lineup.
