Boeing recently increased the weight of both the 787-9 and -10 variants of the Dreamliner and clarified details about the performance and configuration of the -10. The maximum take-off weight for both variants has risen by 3,990lb (1,810kg) to 557,000lb (253,000kg), allowing the -9 to fly up to 8,300nm (15,400km). Boeing stated the range of the 787-10 has been increased to 7,200nm (13,334km), up from the 7,000nm (12,964km) announced when the variant was launched at the Paris Air Show in June 2013. The manufacturer also confirmed the -10 would accommodate 323 passengers in a three-class layout, a reduction of seven seats over previously released figures. Boeing held 413 orders for the 787-9 and 132 for the -10 by early July.
