The Hits Don't Stop Coming In Seattle, But Calhoun Says Things Are Looking Up
Boeing has confirmed that the first 777x delivery is now anticipated for 2025, a change that will incur about $1.5 billion in otherwise avoidable costs. The delay didn't just come for the 777x, as the report also touched on the 787 and the 777-8 Freighter program. In an address to employees, Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun outlined the immediate future for the company in his overview of this year's first quarter results. The 787 program has submitted a certification plan to the FAA, as well as checked over the stock of aircraft on hand to ensure they are up to par.
