Lufthansa is anticipating further delays of its first Boeing 777-9 deliveries and now does not expect the first one to come until 2026, CEO Jens Ritter said.
Emirates has placed a firm order with Boeing for a further 90 777X, including for the smaller 777-8 variant, while flydubai has ordered its first 787s.
Boeing has revealed initial details of how the long-delayed certification effort for its 777-9 will be structured, with WH003 set to play a leading role.
Boeing had a quiet Paris Air Show in terms of new orders, but it continues to make progress on two key commercial programs bogged down in regulatory scrutiny.
