US, Japan and China account for 40% of Boeing Dreamliners, India ranks ninth in total deliveries

India ranked ninth in Boeing deliveries

The United States accounts for a quarter of all the Boeing 787 Dreamliner deliveries, followed by Japan with an 11.9 percent share and China with 8.8 percent, according to Boeing Company, with India ranking ninth, having received 33 Dreamliners or just 2.8 percent of the 1,189 Boeing 787 aircraft delivered globally as of June 2025.

The top 10 countries collectively account for 74 percent of all 787 Dreamliner deliveries to date.

As many as 28 aircraft were delivered in 2025, including seven in May, of which, three went to Qatar Airways and two to US-based carriers.

In India, Vistara - now merged into Air India - took delivery of a Boeing 787-9 in March 2024. The oldest Dreamliner in India was delivered to Air India in September 2012. In 2023, Vistara had received three additional Dreamliners.

The aircraft has come in focus after a tragic accident claimed 242 lives, as Air India's Boeing 787-8 crashed near Ahmedabad airport shortly after takeoff. This marks the first-ever fatal crash involving a Dreamliner since the aircraft entered commercial service in 2007.

The accident sent the shares of Boeing’s sharply lower in US pre-trading on June 12. The company had recently secured an order for 300 aircraft, and has 948 pending deliveries in its Dreamliner series.

General Electric (GE) Aerospace supplies engines for nearly two-third of all the Dreamliners - including the one involved in the Ahmedabad crash - and saw its shares fall 4 percent during the pre-market trading.
