Abu Dhabi based Etihad Airways will take the first 787-10 powered by GE's GEnx-1B engines on October 30, 2018. This aircraft is ZC061 (LN 743, A6-BMA). Three days later on November 2 United Airlines will take delivery of it's first 787-10 ZC037 (LN 763, N14001) also powered by the GE powerplants. Boeing will also deliver one of three former 787-10 test aircraft to Singapore Airlines on November 5th. ZC002 (LN 565, 9V-SCG) flew about 50 test flights in support of certification flight testing for the 787-10 program. There hasn't been any announcement of the GE powered 787-10 receiving it's type authorization certificate from the FAA which allow deliveries to proceed but typically the final certification is issued a few days prior to first delivery.

Lastly,
Bloomberg is reporting that Lufthansa is talking to Boeing about an order for the 787 which would be huge. The catch is that Boeing may have to buy their old A340s which essentially has little to 0 secondary market. Still, if Boeing were to sell the 787 to Lufthansa, it would be the third major wide body aircraft sale to the German flag carrier in the last decade (747-8I and 777-9 being the first 2) and would mean that the airline would have ordered all three of Boeing's current wide body offerings.

Hi Uresh
The 4th Uzbekistani B788 which has just been delivered is not registered UK78704 as originally expected, but has the serial UK001 (note, not UK-001 as reported elsewhere) and is for use by the Government of Uzbekistan. It flew on 10/29 to San Bernadino for painting/outfitting.

Thank you Paul!
Is there any reason known on why UAL 787-10, line number 782, has moved in the past 3 weeks? Charleston had been stable with a line move about once per week.
Hi Uresh
Just a couple of small pieces of info on two recent deliveries. L/n 761 for Shanghai A/L is registered B-206K (new format Chinese registration) while l/n 764 for Neos is EI-NEU (Irish register).

Uresh, I think you have a small typo in your tables. On the delivered list I count 5 delivered from Charleston and 7 from Everett for November, but the Monthly Production and delivery table shows 4 for Charleston and 8 for Everett.
One more typo: On the "787 Monthly Delivery Tracking" tab. Since LN 565 was delivered on 10/19, cell M114 should be a 1, and cell M115 is only 11
Sell Lufthansa some 787s, and sell some more 747-8Is while they're at it! :)
