Boeing South Carolina celebrated the rollout of its first 787-9 Dreamliner for United Airlines (UA) on Jan. 26, 2015, a remarkable occasion for the South Carolina team.

The airplane's rollout marks the first time that a longer version of the Dreamliner has been assembled in North Charleston, S.C. Boeing South Carolina started final assembly of the 787-9 Dreamliner in Nov. 2014. The first South Carolina-built 787-9 will be delivered to United.

Boeing selected North Charleston, S.C., as the location for the second 787 final assembly line on Oct. 28, 2009, and broke ground on the site in November of that year. The South Carolina final assembly facility was completed in June 2011, and production began later that same month. The first 787-8 Dreamliner built in South Carolina rolled out of final assembly in April 2012.

Besides, Boeing will start final assembly of the first 787-10 in South Carolina in 2017.
