don't know but there are definitely threads here about this topic, especially since the DL/NW merger happened.

except of course that the DL/NW merger hasn't happened yet - it is still subject to shareholder votes at both companies and regulatory approvals - so it might never happen ( though I am pretty sure that it will )

Looking further into the future the first 787-9s will go to launch customer NZ , but I believe delivery for those has slipped from end 2010 until sometime 2012

Moderation in all things ... including moderation ;-)

It's pretty much a lock that DTW-PVG will be the first route. They will be forced to start the route with the 744 (unless they delay it like other airlines have done with new China routes), but will switch it to 787 as soon as possible.

I'll do a list this way, ordered by airline instead of L/N:

1 ANA (NH)
2 NWA (NW)
3 RAM (AT)
4 BEJ (CA)
5 SHA (FM)
6 CEA (MU)
7 HNA (HU)
8 GUN (CZ)
9 JAL (JL)
10 QAN (QF; operated by Jetstar JQ)
11 AIN (AI)
12 ETH (ET)
13 LOT (LO)
14 ATZ (DP; operated by Thomsonfly BY)
15 CAL (CO)

This goes up to L/N 68, with a few in between that can't be disclosed. After L/N 68 has not been put in the system officially yet.

Cool chart, but I'm more interested in pax capacities/configurations. Looks smaller than a 764 for example, but maybe more on par with a 763?

Incorrect.

The order of delivery is as follows: (from flightblogger)

(this could be changed. However, my main point is that deliveries will start with line number 7, and not with line number 1. )

ln# Airline
7 ANA
8 Air China
9 ANA
10 Shanghai Airlines
11 China Eastern
12 Hainan Airlines
13 China Eastern
14 China Southern
15 China Southern
16 Hainan Airlines
17 Air China
18 ANA
19 China Eastern
20 JAL
21 Qantas
23 China Eastern
24 Qantas
25 Air India
26 Ethiopian Airlines
27 Qantas/Jetstar

Northwest will not be second to receive the 787.

ln#1-8
1 ANA (RR test)(prototype)
2 ANA (RR test)
3 NorthWest (RR test)
4 NorthWest (RR test)
5 Royal Air Moroc (GE test)
6 Royal Air Moroc (GE test)

These are test aircraft. They will take several weeks, if not months to be refurbished before they can be delivered to customers. Northwest however will be the second airline to have its livery on a 787.

NZ will be the first customer to receive the 789 and AFAIK will get the first 4x789 before other airlines then will receive its next 4x789 at a slightly later date but probably within a year of the first batch.

54 types. 38 countries. 24 airlines.

You might like to check your source(s). Over the time I have been dealing with pianos101 I have not known him to be wrong yet and knowing where he gets his info from I can see why.

Let me put it another way, I'd certainly trust his info over secondhand info from a two-bit plane mag.

I think you're both right.

Pianos was talking about the order of airlines receiving their first, the 1-27 I had was the line order.

Yes I should've been more clear. My list was just of line numbers; the first few aircraft that are test aircraft will not be delivered in line number order. But the line number list is which order the aircraft will be put together (obviously). Thanks for your defense, Rob!

Little problem though. NWA and RAM will not be the 2nd and 3rd airlines to receive their 787s.

I am sure the first airshow that comes along after flight, Boeing will want to debut and show it to the world...and press!
