EC-MMX is a Boeing 787-8 BBJ/Dreamliner, a twin-engine jet. SkyMeter has tracked 1,384 flights totalling 8,282 hours of airtime via ADS-B across 91 callsigns. The most frequent segment is LEMD to LEBL. Service window in our records spans 399 days. Of those flights, 8 (0.6%) carry at least one detected incident — go-around, unstable approach, stall warning, or runway excursion. The Boeing 787-8 BBJ/Dreamliner has a 197 ft wingspan, a maximum takeoff weight of 502,500 lb.
About the Boeing 787-8 BBJ/Dreamliner
The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner represents the first clean-sheet widebody airliner design of the 21st century and the first large commercial aircraft with a composite primary structure—more than 50 percent carbon fiber reinforced plastic by weight. Launched in 2004 and entering service with All Nippon Airways in 2011 after a protracted development, the 787-8 introduced revolutionary technologies including electrically powered systems replacing traditional pneumatic and hydraulic architectures, larger windows with electrochromic dimming, and a cabin pressurized to 6,000 feet equivalent altitude rather than the industry-standard 8,000 feet. These innovations deliver a 20 percent improvement in fuel efficiency compared to the 767 it was designed to replace, enabling ultra-long-haul point-to-point routes that were previously uneconomical.
Powered by either General Electric GEnx or Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines, the 787-8 seats 242 passengers in a typical two-class configuration and has a maximum range of 7,355 nautical miles—sufficient for nonstop flights like Perth to London. The type cruises at Mach 0.85, matching the speed of larger widebodies while burning significantly less fuel per seat-mile. Its composite fuselage is manufactured in large barrel sections by international partners and shipped to Boeing's Everett facility for final assembly, a supply chain model that proved both innovative and initially problematic during the aircraft's troubled development phase.
The 787-8 competes directly with the Airbus A330-800 and smaller A350-900 variants in the mid-size widebody market. While the stretched 787-9 and 787-10 variants have since captured larger market shares, the -8 remains popular with carriers operating thinner long-haul routes where its smaller capacity and exceptional range are ideal. The Dreamliner family has fundamentally reshaped airline network planning by making direct secondary-city pairs economically viable, bypassing traditional hub-and-spoke constraints that dominated widebody operations for decades.
SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators over routes, with () the largest observed operator.
