SEATTLE (AP) - Boeing Co. has committed to building a longer version of its fuel-efficient 787 jet to meet demand from several airlines, the head of the new airplane program said Monday.
"It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when, and finalizing some details around configuration," Mike Bair, vice president and general manager of the 787 program, said in a conference call with reporters.
The 787-10 will carry approximately 300 passengers, about 50 more than the largest of three models the company had previously said it would build.
