Is this the fastest any new widebody has reached 250 deliveries?
Also, I wonder if Boeing set a record for the number of initial and smallest widebody models sold before modifications and upgrades. The 777-200 was upgraded to the -200ER fairly quickly, whereas the 787-800 initial model has sold almost 500 copies.
In my last post, I said 787-800, should have been 787-8 obviously.
Could you revise information as follows?
ZB413(L/N369) is from JA876A to JA875A.
ZB414(L/N401) is from JA877A to JA876A.
ZB415(L/N414) is from JA878A to JA877A.
and ZA144(L/N428) will be registrated as JA878A.
This is great news - Hainan to further order 30 787-9s (as compared to their existing order of 10 787-8s):

Hainan is kinda known as a difficult / picky customer. This new follow-on order sounds like a ringing endorsement from an experienced 787-8 operator.
