Vistara has taken over the first 787 Dreamliner with production line number ZB809 from Hainan Airlines. According to Boeing data, the aircraft was originally planned to be delivered to Hainan Airlines.

According to data from the Boeing 787 aircraft production line, the four Boeing 787-9 aircraft originally planned to be delivered to Hainan Airlines have been changed to Vistara TATA SIA Airlines. The production lines of the four aircraft are 887, 893, 905, and 913 respectively. At present, Vistara's first Dreamliner has completed the first test flight and is undergoing production testing.

In addition, Hainan Airlines has four Boeing 787-9 aircraft to be delivered. The data shows that aircraft production line numbers 891, 911 are leased from GECAS, but the airlines that the aircraft to be delivered to are not certain. The current status of the two Boeing 787-9 aircraft in 924 and 936 is still shown as Hainan Airlines, which is currently in the final assembly stage.

At present, Hainan Airlines has 10 Boeing 787-8 aircraft and 30 Boeing 787-9 aircraft.

In 2018, Vistara ordered 10 Boeing 787-9 aircraft, including 6 confirmed orders and 4 optional orders.
