Hybrid airline Air Premia announced on the 3rd that it introduced its 4th Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner on the 1st. Air Premia plans to accelerate fleet expansion and route diversification by consecutively introducing the 5th aircraft by the end of this month and adding three more aircraft of the same model in 2024.


The Boeing 787-9 is a mid-to-long-haul model boasting a flight range of 15,500 km. As a newly established airline, Air Premia is operating large aircraft known as the 'Dreamliner,' which is unusual for a startup. This aircraft is made of carbon composite materials, making it highly durable, and is considered a state-of-the-art model with improved comfort features such as cabin pressure and humidity.

We will do our best to meet the expectations and demands of long-haul travelers.”



Meanwhile, Air Premia began operating routes to the Americas with its Los Angeles service launched in October last year. It then introduced routes to New York in May and Frankfurt in June this year, actively expanding its mid-to-long-haul routes to the Americas and Europe.
