ANA is world's largest operator of the 787


All Nippon Airways stands alone as the world's largest operator of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The Japanese carrier operates 87 Dreamliners across all three variants, a figure no other airline comes close to matching.

Boeing 787-10   10

ANA's dominance traces back to its role as the 787's launch customer. The airline received the first Dreamliner in 2011 and steadily expanded the fleet as the type proved itself on both domestic and long-haul routes. Today, ANA flies 787-8s on high-frequency Japanese trunk routes, while the larger 787-9 and 787-10 anchor services to Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia.



The aircraft's fuel efficiency and flexibility have allowed ANA to open thinner long-haul routes while maintaining dense schedules from Tokyo Haneda and Narita.

More deliveries are still to come, ensuring the Dreamliner remains central to ANA's network well into the next decade.
 
Other airlines with large fleets of 787s include:
United Airlines with 64
American Airlines with 51
Japan Airlines with 47
