LATAM Airlines Group and Boeing announced on Monday an order for 10 787-9 Dreamliners with options for five additional aircraft.
This latest order strengthens the carrier’s position as South America’s largest 787 operator, with 37 aircraft currently in its fleet. By 2030, the airline expects to have 52 787s.
“The Boeing 787 is a much more efficient aircraft, allowing us to continue growing sustainably while reducing our carbon footprint as we drive the growth of our operations. This order will enable us to receive at least two aircraft of this model each year from 2025 until the end of the decade,” said Ramiro Alfonsín, chief financial officer of LATAM Airlines Group, in a news release.
LATAM has several subsidiaries spread across Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, and Peru. The group’s widebody fleet also includes Boeing 767 and 777 jets.
