Boeing on Tuesday revealed a pair of orders from Asian carriers for 49 of its 787 Dreamliner widebodies in the biggest deal of the Singapore Airshow's first day. Thai Airways will take up to 45 aircraft, while Royal Brunei Airlines has committed to adding four of the intercontinental model to its fleet.

The Thai Airways contract calls for the first 10 Dreamliners to be the 787-9 version powered by GE Aerospace's GEnx engines. The contract includes options for 35 more aircraft and allows the flexibility to switch to the larger 787-10 model or even the 777X. The companies finalized the order in December but didn't formally reveal its existence until the first day of this week's Singapore Airshow.
