Furthermore the basic 787, the 787-8, is effectively out of production now, it was only ordered by those who did so before it entered service. Production has moved on to the larger 787-9, which will soon be supplanted by the even larger 787-10. All moving well away from the traditional 767 market and impinging on the 777.
