Airways orders an additional 45 Boeing 787s"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p><strong>Thai Airways<\/strong> has placed a firm order for 45 Boeing 787 jets, with options potentially boosting the size of the deal to around 80 aircraft as it serves rising international travel demand, industry sources said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The deal, to be formally unveiled later this month, is already reflected in Boeing&#8217;s published order backlog as a contract for 45 planes with an undisclosed customer, they said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The airplanes will be powered by engines from GE Aerospace , which currently dominates the market for 787 engines in competition with Britain&#8217;s Rolls-Royce the sources said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2023\/12\/latam-announces-order-for-five-additional-boeing-787s.html\">LATAM announces order for five additional Boeing 787s<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That opens a new chapter for the Asian carrier, which is a longstanding customer of Rolls-Royce and it is also a win for GE as the airline currently flies Rolls&#8217; engines on its existing 787s, they said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Boeing 787 competes with the Airbus A350, which only has Rolls engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Industry sources have said engine negotiations spilled over to the choice of airplane as Thai&#8217;s decision to reject the A350 in favour of the 787 was partly influenced by disagreements over engine maintenance pricing with Rolls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With information from <a
