Air Astana finalises order for up to 15 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners

Air Astana has finalised an order for up to 15 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, converting a commitment first announced in November. The purchase — the Kazakh flag carrier's largest aircraft acquisition — secures long‑haul widebody capacity and strengthens Boeing's 787 backlog in the region.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

Air Astana converted a November commitment into a firm order for up to 15 787-9s, marking the carrier's largest aircraft purchase and materially expanding its long‑haul widebody capacity.
The deal bolsters Boeing's 787 backlog and regional market position, building on Boeing's earlier delivery commitments to Air Astana (see Boeing to deliver Air Astana's first 787-9 and Vietjet's first 737-8).
The order comes amid recent changes in Air Astana's ownership stake — including BAE Systems' planned reduction — providing governance context for the carrier's strategic fleet moves (see BAE Systems to halve Air Astana stake, selling GDRs equal to ~8% of shares).
