Boeing's "Secret" 787 Upgrade That Could Destroy the Airbus A350
Boeing just made a massive, quiet upgrade to its best-selling widebody aircraft, and it could change the future of long-haul flying. Without launching an entirely new aircraft program, Boeing has introduced a major Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW) upgrade for both the 787-9 and 787-10 Dreamliners—and they are already in production for 2026 deliveries!
In this video, we break down exactly what this 2026 MTOW upgrade means for the aviation industry. We explore how the 787-9 gains roughly 10,000 lbs (4,540 kg) of additional capability, while the stretched 787-10 receives a massive 14,200 lb (6,450 kg) boost. For airlines like Air New Zealand—the first confirmed operator of the enhanced 787-9—this means flying up to 400 nautical miles further or carrying significantly more cargo on ultra-long-haul routes.
But the real story is how this affects the fierce rivalry with the Airbus A350-900. For years, the A350 held a clear advantage in payload and range over the 787-10. Has Boeing's new upgrade finally closed the gap? We compare the economics, capacity, and route flexibility of the upgraded Dreamliner against Airbus's flagship twin-engine jet to see which aircraft airlines will choose to replace their aging 767s, A330s, and 777-200ERs.

The iMTOW was increased on 787-9 as well as 787-10 back on March 23rd 2026
The 9 & 10 airframes built from December 2025 forward are structurally capable of the increased cargo ratings.
It was then certified by the FAA and airlines can choose to Activate the iMTOW if they choose on the existing platforms that qualify if they choose
Sorry this is just very old news
What surprises me even more is the 777 wasn’t made all composite and a 777 replacement all together.
Danke
