Having operated the 787-8 for the past decade, this order ensures the continuation of a product valued by it customers. The new fleet not only reinforces the carrier’s commitment to providing unparalleled service and the highest safety standards but also positions it to explore new growth opportunities, enhancing market appeal and delivering a superior travel experience.
