I expect Boeing to formally launch the variant at the Paris Air Show next month and I also expect that the launch announcement will include launch orders from at least 2 if not more customers. One of these customers would most likely be IAG (British Airways) who exercised 18 787 options. Even though IAG didn't announce the version they will buy, it is widely expected to be the 787-10.

Singapore Airlines agrees to 787-10 commitment, formal Boeing launch right around the corner
Singapore Airlines is the first airline to publicly announce that they have an agreement with Boeing to buy the next variant of the 787, the 787-10. Singapore Airlines has said that they intend to purchase 30 787-10s contingent on formal launch of the airplane by Boeing. SIA expects deliveries of the -10 to start in 2018-2019. They already have orders for 20 787-9 that will go to their low cost subsidiary Scoot.

Scoot has announced that they will split their order between 10 -9's and 10 -8's. They are to receive the first -9 starting in Nov 2014.
Boeing's order book currently shows 20 787-9s going to SIA (Scoot).
Uresh, your auto-correct is misbehaving again. Check the title...
Boeing.com order book is primed for the Paris Air Show. 101 unidentified 737's and no mention yet for the 30 787-10X. That's 131 aircraft maybe mentioned at Paris plus more to come if the official 787-10X announcement for Paris comes along. Order book ( http://active.boeing.com/commercial/orders/index.cfm ) house keeping will interesting during Paris.

Looks like ANA ZA513 is delivered and on the way home tonite.
Actually there are open panels on that aircraft leading me to believe that there is still more work to be done. It was probably moved out temporarily.
So what you're saying is the pilots may have been a bit premature with the flight plan

But in any case it looks like the $$$$ has changed hands which is what counts.
Meaning?
Disregard talking about two different airplanes, sorry.
