Company Plans ‘Serious Conversations’ After 777X Setback
Emirates, one of Boeing’s major customers, has stated that it will be having “serious conversations” with the manufacturer following yet another recent setback in 777X production. The widebody aircraft is now six years behind its original delivery schedule. “Emirates has had to make significant and highly expensive amendments to our fleet programs as a result of Boeing’s multiple contractual shortfalls,” stated Emirates President Tim Clark. “I fail to see how Boeing can make any meaningful forecasts of delivery dates.”
