The longer fuselage sections are 20 ft longer than the 787-8. Boeing said the -9 will carry 40 more passengers an additional 300 nautical miles, allowing airlines to grow routes first opened by the 787-8.
Air New Zealand is the launch customer for the 787-9, which is expected to operate on the airline’s international network from mid-2014.
