Boeing announced a major order from Korean Air at Farnborough 2024. The order is for 20 Boeing 777-9 and 20 Boeing 787-10 aircraft, with options for 10 additional 787-10s. This order for Korean comes after a major order with Airbus earlier this year as the carrier modernizes its fleet prior to its merger with Asiana.
