The purchase, which includes five 787-10 and six 737-8 jets, builds on the airline's largest‑ever order for 14 787 Dreamliner and 737 MAX airplanes(opens in a new tab) earlier this year.

Government leaders celebrated the signing by Boeing and Biman on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, including:

This agreement is one part of a broader, carefully considered plan to strengthen the country's international connectivity in the years ahead."

Biman currently operates 787, 777 and 737 Next‑Generation airplanes across its international network, connecting Bangladesh with major hubs in the Middle East, South and Southeast Asia, and Europe. The 787 Dreamliner and 737 MAX families deliver 20-25% more fuel efficiency compared to the airplanes they replace, supporting the airline's strategy to modernize its fleet and expand global connectivity.

ANA receives Boeing’s 100th 787 Landing Gear Exchange Delivery

Boeing’s Landing Gear Exchange program offers airlines a cost-effective, efficient solution for maintaining their fleets.

SINGAPORE, Feb. 4, 2026 — Boeing [NYSE: BA] successfully completed its 100th 787 Landing Gear Exchange (LGE) delivery, highlighting its commitment to innovative solutions that enhance operational efficiency and safety for its customers. The milestone delivery was received by ANA.

“The Landing Gear Exchange program has been instrumental in optimizing our maintenance operations and ensuring the highest levels of safety during our passengers’ journeys with us,” said Yukifumi Ueda, vice president and general manager, Engine, Component & Supply Chain, ANA. “This latest delivery demonstrates our strong partnership with Boeing and our commitment to providing exceptional, seamless service to our customers.”

Boeing delivered its 100th 787 Landing Gear Exchange to ANA, underscoring its commitment to innovative solutions that improve customer safety and operational efficiency.

ANA has received and installed landing gear assemblies through the exchange program on 30 of its 787s.

“This milestone reinforces our dedication to providing airlines with critical parts when and where needed to maximize fleet availability and strengthen operational resilience. By ensuring a reliable and efficient supply chain, we continue to drive measurable value for airline operations worldwide,” said William Ampofo, senior vice president, Parts & Distribution and Supply Chain, Boeing Global Services. “We are also investing in and expanding our exchange pool capacity to meet the growing needs of our customers as they begin their 787-9 overhaul cycle.”

Over the past 20 years, the LGE program has become the preferred choice for operators around the globe. Boeing has successfully contracted exchanges for more than 480 787 tails from 34 airlines into the landing gear exchange skyline – with many customers extending services or adding tails to the exchange. ANA has LGE contracts to support its 787-8 and 787-9 fleet. Other recent contracts include unnamed customers signing up for a total of 65 exchanges for their 787-8 and 787-9 fleets.

Boeing’s LGE program also offers a capital-efficient model eliminating the need for airlines to purchase and manage landing gear assets or oversee complex overhaul processes. By delivering forward exchange of certified, overhauled landing gear, the program reduces green time loss and aircraft downtime, enabling airlines to preserve liquidity, streamline maintenance, and focus on delivering seamless, reliable service to their customers.

FLEET - Thai Airways eyes B787 order, Airbus out of race - report

 Thai Airways International (TG, Bangkok Suvarnabhumi) is close to finalising a deal with Boeing to buy up to 100 aircraft in a mixture of firm orders, options, and purchase rights, according to Reuters. Talks concerning the multi-billion dollar acquisition are reportedly in the advanced stage, with Airbus out of the race because of disputes with its engine supplier.

The airline is negotiating for around eight B787 types and 15 narrowbodies. Airbus had offered Thai their A350 model as an alternative to the Boeing widebody. Thai Airways is keen to modernise and grow its fleet to exploit strong passenger demand for travel to and from Thailand and capitalise on Bangkok's role as a transit hub.

Since downsizing its fleet while working its way through a court-supervising restructuring and rehabilitation process, the airline is now adding capacity by leasing aircraft, but ahead of this impending order, currently does not have any commitments placed with either OEM.

Airbus reportedly fell out of favour because Rolls-Royce is the sole engine manufacturer for the A350 and Thai Airways, like other carriers, has some issues with the engine manufacturer's pricing. In early November, Bloomberg reported that Thai Airways CEO Chai Eamsiri said he would take his business elsewhere because Rolls Royce declined to offer the carrier more favourable pricing terms.

“If you play hard, you may win in the short term but lose in the long term,” Eamsiri said about the engine maker. British Airways (BA, London Heathrow) recently decided to order B787s over A350s, in part because of Rolls Royce's position on pricing. New Rolls Royce CEO Tufan Erginbilgic has said he is prepared to forego deals if they erode profitability and that the company is seeking win-win outcomes and "long-term sustainable" relationships with suppliers.

In addition to the cost of the Rolls Royce engines, renegotiations between Thai Airways and the engine manufacturer over an existing service agreement are at a stalemate, with Erginbilgic's hard-line policy seeing Rolls Royce refuse to do deep discounts. This refusal is believed to have played a role in Thai swinging towards Boeing and a B787 order.

In addition to 20 International Aero Engines V2500 powered A320-200s that Thai Airways is acquiring as a result of its merger with Thai Smile, Rolls Royce Trent 700 engines power Thai's three A330-300s, and Trent XWB engines power its seventeen A350-900s. The remainder of Thai's fleet comprises Boeing types, including six B777-200ERs, seventeen B777-300ERs, six B787-8s, and two B787-9s.

FLEET - Georgian Airways will add a new B787 from 2024, as up to 60 weekly flights will be added to Europe.

In addition, the carrier will begin flights to Dubai from the end of 2023, and from April 2024 to Beijing, Shanghai, and Chengdu.

TAAG Angola Airlines currently flies five 777-300ER (Extended Range) jets, three 777-200ERs and seven 737-700s to 12 destinations across Africa, Europe, South America and China.

Boeing's Commercial Market Outlook for Africa projects that the continent will need 1,025 airplanes over the next two decades. Overall African air traffic growth is forecast at 7.4%, the third highest among global regions and above the global average growth of 6.1%.

Since revenue service began in 2011, the 787 family has launched more than 370 new nonstop routes around the world. The 787 Dreamliner reduces fuel use and emissions by 25% compared to the airplanes it replaces. Passengers enjoy a better experience with the largest windows of any jet, air that is more humid and pressurized at a lower cabin altitude for greater comfort, large overhead bins, soothing LED lighting, and technology that senses and counters turbulence for a smoother ride.
