Boeing 777X

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.

The strong surge in demand for the A350-1000 has come as a surprise to many, including probably some inside Airbus.

Singapore Airlines also says its fleet product revamp is one of the major factors in why the flag-carrier has not returned to 100% capacity.

Delays have led Emirates to extend operations of the 777-300ER fleet.

Folding wingtips will finally enter commercial service in 2025 with the long-anticipated debut of the 777-9.

If even Emirates is no longer interested in the -8, shouldn’t Boeing drop it?

According to the June data, Emirates has converted an order for 16 Boeing 777-8s into the same number of larger -9s.

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.

The move to restart supplier shipments could suggest confidence in the 777-9’s certification progress, which has faced several hurdles in the past two years.

Boeing says it is poised to begin certification of the 777X as soon as the U.S. regulator gives the all-clear to begin testing.

Boeing Commercial Airplanes President and CEO Stan Deal sat down with Aviation Week ahead of the Paris Air Show to talk about market prospects.

Shifting market dynamics may be leaving the company ideally positioned at the large-aircraft end of the market with the 777-9.
