A Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner is seen at a Thai Airways hangar in Bangkok. THAI, emerging from a major restructuring, said its order includes an option to purchase more jets. “The long-term aircraft acquisition plan is crucial for replacing gradually expiring leased and ageing aircraft,” it said. The order also came with options for additional aircraft, the airline said, adding that its fleet size would reach 96 jets after the acquisition. The deal adds to a growing order book for Boeing, which has recently locked in deals for 150 Max jets from Akasa Air of India.
