Why It Took Years For Boeing To Finally Get The Orders For The 787-10 It Always Wanted

Although the Boeing 787 Dreamliner made history by becoming the best-selling widebody jet of all time, the largest variant in the lineup has only recently begun to hit the sales figures its maker hoped for over a decade ago. Boeing launched its largest Dreamliner variant at the 2013 Paris Air Show, but by mid-2025, the 787-10 accounted for just 433 gross orders. That is in comparison to the 1,557 orders for the 787-9.
