ANA airlines of Japan has upped its order for the 787 by 11 more aircraft.  The airline has exercised options for 11 more 787-9 aircraft based on its operational experience with the airliner to date.

Great news for Boeing as it is, I believe the first “top up” from an airline operating the 787 and given that it is ANA, it’s a great blessing for the aircraft.

I expect that we’ll see more airlines asking for more aircraft over the next 12 months with a strong focus on the 787-9 and a strong demand for an announced 787-10 (with appropriate range.)
