LATAM Airlines Group has placed an order for ten Boeing B787-9 aircraft with options for five additional units, aiming to receive at least two aircraft annually from 2025 through the end of the decade.
The order could expand LATAM’s B787 fleet to 52 aircraft by 2030, increasing from the current total of 37, which includes ten B787-8s and twenty-seven B787-9s operated by its Chilean subsidiary.
Recently relisted on the New York Stock Exchange, LATAM has reported a secure order book of over 120 aircraft, with 80pc of deliveries scheduled from Airbus and Boeing through 2030.
The airline has acknowledged potential delivery delays for some Boeing aircraft due to ongoing issues, including a strike affecting over 33,000 machinists at Boeing’s plants, while also having several Airbus models on order.
