United Airlines will start operating its Boeing 787 Dreamliner on all routes to Australia and New Zealand this year.
2016 marks the 30th anniversary of the US carrier’s first flights to Australia, and it will mark the occasion by replacing the B777-200 aircraft currently used on its Los Angeles-Sydney and San Francisco-Sydney services with a B787-9 Dreamliner. These upgrades will take place on 27 and 28 March respectively.
The B787-9 already operates the airline’s Melbourne-Los Angeles service.
And United’s expansion in Australasia will continue on 3 July 2016 with the launch of B787-8 Dreamliner flights between Auckland and San Francisco.
United’s Dreamliners all offer three cabin classes – business, premium economy and economy. The B787-8 offers 219 seats while the B787-9 has 252 seats. The airline has also placed orders for the largest version of the aircraft, the B787-10.
