The 787 Dreamliner is a long-range aircraft with carrying capacity for 210 to 330 passengers and developed to achieve greater fuel-efficiency for long-range service (7,565 nautical miles / 14,010km.) The OEM claims that the 787 consumes 25% less fuel and creates 25% fewer emissions than the aircraft they replace. Since the 787's introduction in 2011, Boeing has logged orders for 1,843 Dreamliners, and as of December 2023 it has an order backlog of 744 aircraft. "The 787 Dreamliner is perfectly suited to support LATAM Group's sustainability and operations goals with its exceptional performance, flexible route capability and enhanced passenger comfort", stated Mike Wilson, Boeing v.p. of Latin America and Caribbean Sales. LATAM also committed to GE Aerospace's GEnx engines to outfit the new aircraft, which will make it the first airline in South America to operate that dual rotor, high-bypass turbofan model developed for the Boeing 747 and 787.
