Boeing 787 is in big trouble! No one buys it! Here's why!
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is nothing short of a MARVEL in the skies - a testament to the FUTURE of aviation. Being a SYMBOL of INNOVATION and ELEGANCE, airlines around the globe have been captivated by its unparalleled efficiency, range, and passenger comfort. Though it seemed destined for success in every aspect, the reality was in contrast. Boeing wished to make the Dreamliner's Dash 8 variant a best-seller but dismally failed.
Why no one buys it? What should Boeing do to change the situation? Let's find it in today's episode.
Boeing 787 is in big trouble! No one buys it! Here's why!
The mission of Boeing 787 Dash 8
First, let's explore the purpose behind Boeing's creation of the 787 dash 8.
Launched in 2 thousand and 4 and entering service in 2011, this is the smallest member of the Dreamliner family, but its small size has a clear purpose. Boeing designed it to achieve two major goals.
First, it was intended to replace the aging 767 series. The Boeing 767, particularly the 300 ER version, was a successful aircraft with nearly 600 orders. However, after many years of service, airlines needed a more modern option to replace it. The Boeing 7 8 7 dash 8 was designed to provide a direct replacement for the 7 6 7, offering similar capabilities but with improved efficiency. The Dash 8 has comparable passenger and cargo capacity to the 767 300 ER, but thanks to its advanced design and lightweight composite materials, it is up to 30% more fuel-efficient. This allows airlines to save on operating costs, especially on medium- and long-haul routes.

Second, one of Boeing's bigger ambitions with the 787 dash 8 was to help airlines expand their route networks, particularly between smaller cities, known as secondary cities, that previously lacked sufficient demand to sustain direct flights with larger or less efficient aircraft. With the ability to fly up to 7,300 nautical miles (about 13,500 kilometers), it can connect cities on opposite ends of the world without requiring a stopover, creating new opportunities for airlines to operate ''long and thin routes,'' where passenger numbers aren't large enough to fill bigger planes. The aircraft is equipped with pioneering technologies like fan-less engine architecture and high-aspect-ratio wings, but its most impressive feature is its composite structure, which significantly reduces weight. These innovations make it approximately 30% more efficient than previous aircraft. This is a very unique combination.

Airplanes designed by engineers:
Early 737s, 757, 767, early 777s.
Airplanes designed by accountants:
777X, 787, 737 Max.
Which ones continue to have problems and make the news?
777X, 787, 737 Max.
Need I say more?

There is one thing that I really dislike about the Boeing 787. The crew can and sometimes do black out all the windows and disable the individual window tint controls, so you could have a window seat but you cannot see a thing.

[vvinniem]

Flying long haul on a single aisle aircraft sucks. I would definitely avoid airlines using single aisle aircraft for long haul.

[gbphil]

I hate it because of the dimming windows. I flew from Heathrow to Hong Kong at 10pm knowing the sun would soon rise. The windows remained dark because the cabin crew overrode the seat aisle controls so I saw nothing of Russia or China on my journey. Wouldn’t fly one again! 😎😇

Thank you for sharing Aviation News here.😊 I still like the 767s and 757s. They have both been great aircraft to fly on.

[kenwhitfield]

The 787-10 is the one not selling. It has a much shorter range than its other competitors. Also, a narrow aisle airplane is not in the same passenger comfort class as a wide-body aircraft. A widebody aircraft will always make a better, more comfortable and versatile aircraft on long haul routes.

[tonyverhulst]

"No one buys!" is click bait. It's just one variant. Over 1100 total sold (so far) is not too shabby. I agree that the 350 is great.

[Aviationspotlight]

Its an old air frame now, the advancements made with the airbus a350 are huge in comparison. And the a350 doesnt have landing gear that sticks, batteries that blow up....

[maryrafuse]

This sounds like a lot of promotion, especially for Airbus. It is also pro Dreamliner, and yes theoretically the Dreamliner is a beauty. The problem for me is that I'm not convinced that Boeing is near solving its management problems, corporation attitude, and issues on the shop floor. The idea of flying on a Dreamliner or 737 Max makes me very warry, very uncomfortable. Force fitting wings to the body of an aircraft and not using proper hardware to fit an aircraft together should be a problem for many who travel on aircraft. Simply put I have lost faith in the Boeing product, airlines might not have my problem but like Boeing they are focused on money not my life.

787-9 is well-balanced(either short, medium, long or ultra long haul) of the 787 family

[joeandersen]

Boeing is going down, the legazy of Wall Street.

[MySkyranger]

The Airbus A330NEO is a much better aircraft than the B787

[geraldreidel]

At 74 years of age and a frequent flyer the 787 is the most comfortable and pleasant aircraft I have ever flown on period!

[charlesstrader]

I’ve been flying it for about five years. It’s ny favorite plane at the end of a 49 year career.

Everyone keeps talking about the xlr as being the 2nd coming of the Concorde and the original 747, when they first came out, nearly 60 years ago. One for it's tremendous speed and the other for its combination of size, comfort and speed. Fast forward nearly 60 years and all of the excitement revolves around a cramped regional jet that has been configured in a manner that allows it to cross the ocean at significantly slower speeds than what the original 747's did nearly 60 years ago. Yes, it acheives a better fuel burn the same way a Toyota Corolla gets better gas mileage than a Roll Royce. I dont see many people jumping out of their skin to buy a Toyota Corolla over a Rolls Royce. My point being, there is zero to be excited about. The only one who benefits are the airline executives who will undoubtedly pad their pockets with the fuel savings this cramped jet will bring them. This is not an exciting moment in aviation history. The fact that airlines are turning away from a comfortable larger jet like the 787-8 in favor of a cramped, slow flying albeit fuel efficient 40 year old design with longer range should be grounds for concern for the claustrophobic traveler who is forced to fly on a regular basis for his or her job.

I was on a 787-9 owned by British Airways on a London-Japan flight and it was straight-up the worst long haul flight I've evern been on since a Boeing 747 flight London to NZ via Singaport (Air New Zealand) around 1990 - that's nearly 35 years of multiple annual long haul. Cheap and nasty trim that rattled, terrible hard seats, stupid toilet placement (one broke down making life very difficult indeed) - and this was premium economy.. I'd have slit my wrists if I was back in coach. My favourite remains the Singapore Airlines A380. That's how it should be done. (BTW Boeing in general I have tried to avoid for a while now and do 100% since that Japan flight. It was really hard to find a route from London to Cleveland recently that avoided the current iteration 737).

When Boeing moved 787 production to east coast and assembled by unskilled labor….you know Boeing sr. management care less of its passenger’s lives over profit.

[danielocarey]

Since Boeing doesn't manufacture much of the 787, their profit is probably low. They do put the aircraft together from foreign-made components. And they designed it. So, it gets the Boeing name. The modernization of their own 767 might be a better bet for their continued prosperity than to use the 787 to replace aging 767s. Can they make new 767s that are more affordable to operate? That is the question- along with "to be or not to be."

[Dylandog]

Not enough information given early enough in the video for the viewer to appreciate the difference between the 787 Dash 8, Dash 9 and Dash 10. A layman's attitude to Boeing's problem is simply that it could now concentrate on the latter two versions. Also there was no mention of the lithium batteries catching fire, a slight enigma which I imagine has now ben solved.

BOEING 787 is in big trouble and no one bought it ? I think because of every airlines prefer to AIRBUS A350 over the BOEING 787 for the future of the long haul flight route. Just like QANTAS that use AIRBUS A350-1000 ulr for the long haul flight route from Australia to UK and USA over the BOEING 787 for the nonstop flight from Sydney to London. Even Garuda Indonesia for the future of the long haul flight route including European route, African route, South/North American route Oceanian route (Australia and New Zealand) and other Asian route for International route also Umroh and Hajj route to replacing all of the BOEING 777 if it is get crisis forever year on this 2024 until the next year later on 2045 during Indonesia become the world's most developed country ever for the future. So that's why every airlines prefer to AIRBUS A350 than BOEING 787 just like KLM, Delta Airlines and QANTAS that will use AIRBUS A350 for the future. For make this airlines become so profit than before.
