Aeromexico Takes Delivery of First Boeing 787 Dreamliner

Aeromexico has taken delivery of its first Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

The aircraft is the first of nine 787-8s that Aeromexico will operate, including five on lease from ILFC.

The airline will operate a total of 19 Dreamliners, including 10 787-9 models ordered last year.

"The arrival of Aeromexico's first Boeing 787 Dreamliner represents a milestone for the Mexican aviation history," said Andres Conesa, chief executive officer of Aeromexico. "Our customers will surely benefit from the world-class service that distinguishes Aeromexico, which we now bring on board the most modern aircraft ever built."

Aeromexico's 787 Dreamliners are configured with 32 Clase Premier lie-flat seats and 211 seats in economy class.

To date, the 787 has accrued 930 orders from 57 customers worldwide.
