Saab, the Swedish aerospace and defense company, has signed an extension agreement with Boeing for the manufacturing of large cargo doors, bulk cargo doors, and access doors for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. This extension is part of an existing contract originally signed with Boeing in 2004 for the 787 Dreamliner program. Since the inception of the 787 Dreamliner program, Saab has delivered over 1,100 shipsets of components for the aircraft.

The composite structures of these doors also integrate a range of systems, further enhancing the overall performance and functionality of the aircraft.
“With this contract extension we continue to be a proud partner to Boeing on the successful 787 programme, one of the world’s best-selling widebody aircraft. It strengthens our good and long relationship with Boeing and enhances the cooperation we have, both on commercial aerostructures and the T-7A trainer on the defence side,” says Lars Tossman, head of business area Aeronautics, Saab’s.
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is one of the world’s best-selling widebody aircraft, known for its advanced technology, fuel efficiency, and passenger comfort. The extension of Saab’s contract with Boeing reaffirms the company’s commitment to contributing to the success of this iconic aircraft.
