How many 3-tiered carts are on the 787-8?

• A. Four
• B. One
• C. Two
• D. Three

Answer: (C)

The number reflects how the cabin is laid out for service. A three-tiered cart is a beverage/meals cart with three levels of storage, used to carry items for service in one pass. On the 787-8, the standard galley setup provides two such carts—one in the forward service area and one in the aft/mid service area. This arrangement supports efficient service to both front and rear cabin zones without requiring extra trips or crowding in the galley. Having two carts strikes a balance between enough capacity to serve the cabin and the space constraints of the galley. Having only one cart would limit service to only one galley zone, slowing service across the cabin. More than two would imply a different galley configuration or layout than is typical for the 787-8, adding unnecessary weight and clutter.
