In less than 14 years since its entry into service, the Boeing B-787 has transported more than 1,000,000,000 passengers, being the two corridor plane that has done it faster.
Boeing has announced that The world B-787 fleetcomposed of 1,175 aircraft, 1,000 million passengers transported has exceeded in about 5 million flights that add up More than 30 million flight hours.
Besides He has done it in less than 14 years Since the model made its first commercial flight on October 26, 2011. This flight was one Between Tokyo and Hong Kong by All Nippon Airways (He).
He BOEING B-787 program must overcome enough “stones on the road” that have supposed delays, land paralyzes of the airplanes, and paralysis of deliveries throughout this time.
Nevertheless, Until last April 30 (last figures available), Boeing ha sold 2,471 units: 675 of B-787-8; 1,470 of B-787-9; and 326 from B-787-10 to 89 clients. Deliveriesas we say, add 1,175 airplanes (1,174 to April 30): 398 of B-787-8; 657 B-787-9; and 119 B-787-10, to 11 clients.
According to Boeing’s figures, This B-787 fleet operates flights among more than 520 airports in more than 85 countries. Something More than 425 of these routes did not exist like non-scales flights before the operation with the Boeing B-787.
Son 2,100 daily flights that cover, with a average of more than 12 hours of flighttransporting Something less than half a million passengers dailyor about 14.5 million monthly.
Of those flights, The longest route is that of Qantas that unites London (United Kingdom) and Perth (Australia), with 14,500 km travel. The shortest, between Oranjestad (Aruba) and Curacao (Curacao), 120 km, by Tui Airways.
In addition to these data, Boeing has compiled other figures on B-787:

| 80 | Percentage of reduction of the fixing elements used in the first section of the fuselage, of composite material, compared to traditional construction on panels, which saves weight and increases efficiency. |
| 100 | Percentage of the energy used by the operations of the B-787 in Boeing Carolina del Sur that comes from renewable sources. |
| 112 | Inch diameter (284 cm) of the B-787 motor air inlet rotor |
| 216 | Minimum height in centimeters of the ceiling the roofs of the B-787 passage cabin. The maximum height is even greater: 285 cm. |
