The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is a long-range, mid-size wide-body, twin-engine jet airliner developed by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. It seats 210 to 290 passengers, depending on the variant.

Boeing states that it is the company's most fuel-efficient airliner and the world's first major airliner to use composite materials for most of its construction. According to Boeing, the 787 consumes 20% less fuel than the similarly-sized 767.

Boeing received 854 orders for Dreamliner from 56 companies. Uzbekistan Havo Yollari, a national airline of Uzbekistan, also ordered Boeing 787 Dreamliner. It is expected that the company will receive two Boeing 787 Dreamliner by the end of 2016.
