The potential order would reshape Malaysia Airlines’ long-haul fleet, replacing leased Airbus A350-900s with around 10 Boeing 787-10s and adding a new aircraft type.
The move would return Boeing widebodies to Malaysia Airlines after the carrier retired its 777-200ER nearly a decade ago.
The reported deal follows the carrier’s broader long-haul fleet renewal effort, with the order size and terms still not disclosed.
