This is a 5000nm range from EWR. A realistic MTOW distance for the 787-10. 953761FF-5085-4995-9B6F-A1EE59461993.jpg

From an Air New Zealand investor update:

"So the -10 is just a stretched version. And by maintaining that parts commonality, they've created a very efficient, extremely efficient, aircraft. The trade-off though, because there's always a trade-off, is that the range of that aircraft is less than you get with a 787-9 and less than you get with any of the other options. However, in the context of our network the range it offers would work well to Asia. So to put it in context, to give you - to bring it to life a little bit, the 767s we used to fly to Asia. So we used to fly them to Tokyo, to Shanghai, Hong Kong. The 787- 10 has got about the same range as that, so it suits that part of the network. It has obviously got dramatically better, like two generations between, cost economics than a 787 - sorry - than a 767".
5000nm at SFO gets you to LHR/CDG (FRA right at the edge) going to Europe or NRT and very NE part of China.
