Malaysia Airlines Closing in on Order for Boeing 787 Dreamliners

Malaysia Airlines is nearing an order for Boeing 787 Dreamliners as the carrier looks to renew its long-haul fleet, according to people familiar with the matter. The airline’s parent, Malaysia Aviation Group, is expected to place an order for roughly ten Boeing 787-10s. The sources said the group is in late-stage discussions and asked not to be identified. The report doesn’t specify a delivery schedule, pricing or whether the order includes options or firm/contingent terms. The potential move would align with Malaysia Airlines’ ongoing efforts to modernize its widebody capacity and refresh its route network over the coming years.
