Bad News For The Boeing 777X

Is the Boeing 777X about to be delayed until 2026? Lufthansa's CEO seems to think so following new comments. Additionally, Emirates has forecasted a 2026 delivery since the beginning of 2024. These developments come as the aircraft manufacturer struggles to certify its new widebody jets and faces persistent questions in markets around the quality of its aircraft.

Well, the real bad news is that: Not too many people here on KZbin have ever tried to purchase a brand new jetliner lol. If you want to purchase a brand new Boeing 777-300er or Airbus A350-1000 right now, it may take another 5 years or so to get your first delivery. If you order a Boeing 777x, or the Airbus A350neo right now, it may take you a decade to get it. It is basically a supply-and-demand situation but more complicated. Lufthansa, Emirates, and many financial institutions and leasing companies have already signed their purchase agreements years ago. They signed their agreements without knowing too much about the end products, because they need to consider about many other factors, including their business plan, delivery schedule, and more importantly, financial and discount. You never know their deals. So, if any bad things happen, such as the several issues on the 737 Max, delivery delaying, all the stakeholders will need to work together in order to rectify the problems. It's not like you can just piss off Boeing and walk-in into an Airbus dealer like buying pants from Marshalls or Walmart.

[@frankpinmtl]

Huh? No. You can get an A350-1000 a lot sooner. Airbus is bumping production to 12 a month - 144 a year. Backlog is 600, but Airbus has spots available, if you want them...Stop equating the two

[@artrandy]

Emirates should have already ordered the A350-1000 as insurance, because they knew the B777X was delayed until 2026, and who would bet the delays are not longer? Instead, Clark has threatened Boeing with cancellation and criticised RR (for daring to charge more for their TC maintenance package on the XWB-97, than the 84). How to win friends and influence people? I introduce you to Sir Tim Arrogant Clark😀😀. Its inconceivable that Emirates will cancel the B777X, but they will have to order the A351 as well, engine upgrade or not, so better do it before Airbus take another big order this summer, or Emirates could have a lot of vintage aircraft by 2030............

We really should move into the 800 series

[@timduggan1461]

Can you describe, DJ, the delay in the B-777-X or B-777-9 as displayed?

[@kenoliver8913]

The first few years of the delay was problems with the new engines - which is due to GE, not Boeing. Except maybe Boeing should have hedged their bets by offering buyers a choice of engines, as Airbus often does. But the current delays are from the from the FAA being really tough on certifying it. Since the 737MAX disaster the FAA no longer trusts Boeing at all (who can blame them?) and thoroughly questions absolutely everything they do. They've kinda lurched from one extreme to the other.

Boeing is holding aviation (and space exploration) back

[@2chuck]

They now have at least 3 different aircraft types they can't seem to even get approved. B737-Max 7, B737-Max 10 and the 777X. The B787 seems to be having delivery problems as well, but at least they are approved by the FAA. They seem to have lost their way. Airlines are losing business because they can't operate a planned full schedule due to pushed back delivery dates. It just seems to getting worse at Boeing. I can sure understand Airline Executives' conundrum. I wonder if any of this has to do with them outsourcing a lot of their Enginering to Mumbai, India? It's not that Indian Engineers are a problem, but being that far away can make communication with Corporate more difficult and it's easier for Bean Counters at Boeing HDQ to override them.

[@frankpinmtl]

Actually 5. Max 7 & 10, as you pointed out. 777-9 in 2026. Planned 777-8 by 2030 and the 777F, as well.

[@nickolliver3021]

@@frankpinmtl no just 3

[@nickolliver3021]

They haven't lost their way because of 777x delay nor 787 delivery problems? The problems are that airlines are needing these planes but Airline CEO's are making a big drama over a possible slight delay in new planes like 777x here. You dont know if its true or confirmed by the manufacturer

[@frankpinmtl]

@@nickolliver3021 Really? So all 777X's are going to be certified in 2026?

[@frankpinmtl]

@@nickolliver3021 Airline CEO's are the problem, huh? You mean the guys who were promised to get their jets in 2019, but now have to wait until 2026? Those guys? The same guys Boeing has run up the compensation balance, giving away $4 billion in cash to? Those guys? The same guys who didn't get Max's for 2 years and 787's for 20 months? Those guys? geez - what a bunch of cry-babies...

[@lsellclumanetsolarenergyll5071]

Boeing will end up scrapping the 777 program. They will have to come up with a brand-new model instead. The disaster of 737 Max and 777 is very serious so a newer 767 and 787 will most likely come out instead. Also a 757 is an option.

[@drevil2675]

Great news to humanity.

[@nickolliver3021]

to you it will be

[@rosemaryhricko7697]

Love Lufty 😘♥️

[@ndenkha]

It has always been my favorite two engines jetliner, but these engines look positioned similar to the horrible MAX, they're way in front of the wing, that could cause balance issues as the MAX suffers from.

[@christopherkozal7987]

What’s the reason(s)?

[@ralphsmith242]

"Since the 737-MAX crisis???" No, Sir. Absolutely not. The sentinel event was the F-35's Initial Operational Capability in 2010 (B model), 2011 (A model) and 2012 (C model).

[@miller-joel]

Boeing doesn't make the F-35.

[@ezekielmajor5511]

Dammit! Enough. Orders are going to get cancelled. Disgusted with Boeing at this point.

[@madaboutsnooker147]

That ending track is nails on a chalkboard.....

[@dwormon4591]

Would love to see how much money was spent on this production ??? Need some good engineers management from brazil.

[@greensoba]

Lufthansa's CEO's comments aren't the blow to the program. It's Boeing's failure to delivery that is the blow the to program. Don't make it look like Lufthansa is responsible when Boeing is. I know that's not what you're trying to say, but you need to be clear about these things in your script.

[@nickolliver3021]

Its not Boeings own failure to deliver. Airbus should be given the blow because they fail to deliver planes on time as well. Boeing isnt responsible because what problem is there about 777x thats giving it the extra delay if CEO's say its looking more into 2026?

[@Aviation_of_Houston]

Now the 777-9 Delayed until 2026! And what about the 777-8?

[@raybuchan8298]

Maybe you should stop commenting on Boeing as you never have anything positive to say to say.

[@georgedyson9754]

Well, when cost cutting to make more money for investors starts to take a higher priority than quality manufacturing, what do you expect? Not the first time this management philosophy has led to the opposite of what they thought by requiring a lot of problems that have to be fixed after initial product release costing more money than if they had focussed on quality and safety focussed production in the first place.

[@tomdavis8757]

Forget about the 777x. They cannot even get the bread and butter 737 max 7 or 10 certified Cheers

[@ma02741]

we don't think so, where is the sources from you? why you so tight to report the bad news , juys.

[@Csharpflat5]

Did we expect anything different with the clowns in charge.

[@Michael-cv3wb]

If it's Boeing, I ain't going ..

[@christopherkozal7987]

Really? Thats really obtuse. The 777 is a very reliable airliner. But you do you…so brave!

[@agrazon]

then, don’t.

[@droppingemstv4283]

​@@christopherkozal7987the 777x hasn't been proven so dont speak to soon

[@nickolliver3021]

then dont fly

[@randeepsomel3079]

This is turning into a joke. The plane will be outdated by the time it enters service. It’s a 30 year old airframe with new wings and engine. How can it be this long delayed!!

[@moussochocolat779]

Boeing became a very big bad joke. Never fly with a new Boeing... NEVER

[@emzu690]

Now I already know one more plane I will not get into.

[@alanblanes2876]

Boeing needs to become a worker cooperative that enables workers to have freedom of speech and puts integrity and quality ahead of short term profit, which the current management accepts as the only goal.

[@nickolliver3021]

thats what will be happening
