I've been scouring across the web for details about American Airlines and the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner and all I can find are news articles announcing AA ordering 42 787-9s with options for more, an order placed in 2008. Yet nowhere on boeing.com, aa.com, or Wikipedia can I find evidence for a firm order for the Dreamliner from AA.
So: has AA ordered the Dreamliner, and if so, how many?
In short, they have not confirmed their order and cannot do so until they have a contract with the APA. More details can be found in the post linked above.
