Next month, United Airlines will change both of their current services over to Boeing B787-9 aircraft, making SYD their only all B787 destination.

MEL is also all B787, which makes Australia all B787.

Nigeria, Chile and Argentina are also all 787 only countries, although Argentina and Chile will be reverting to 767s late next month.
