After a dip in deliveries last month plagued by issues with Rolls-Royce Trent-1000 engines, Boeing delivered 14 Dreamliners in the month of May including 11 787-9, 2 787-10 and a sole 787-8. Finally we could see the largest dreamliner 787-10 contribution in the monthly deliveries,Singapore Airlines took 2 more 787-10's making its fleet type to Four. The only 787-8 delivered was to Uzbekistan Airlines which was a quite surprise as the aircraft flown to Portland for painting wearing Royal Jordanians Registration returned back wearing in Uzbekistan Airlines livery.
