Etihad Airways is nearing a deal to order 10 incremental Boeing 787 wide-body jets, with an official announcement expected at the Farnborough International Airshow 2026 from 20 to 24 July. The proposed $2 billion transaction would expand the carrier’s current fleet of 47 Dreamliners and align with its Journey 2030 strategy to grow the fleet beyond 160 aircraft. CEO Antonoaldo Neves previously indicated a double-digit wide-body order was under consideration, though variant specifics—787-8, 787-9, or 787-10—and delivery timelines remain unconfirmed. Neither Boeing nor Etihad has officially confirmed the deal, and both have declined to comment while negotiations continue. Industry sources describe the agreement as closing in but caution it is not guaranteed until contracts are signed.
