Boeing 777x deliveries unlikely before first quarter 2024, Emirates' Clark says

Emirates Airlines President Tim Clark said on Wednesday Boeing’s 777x jet was unlikely to be delivered before the first quarter of 2024. Boeing has been developing the widebody jet, a new version of its 777 series, with the goal of releasing it in late 2023, already three years later than planned. “The 777x was due to come in June of last year, Now it’s unlikely to be, I think, before the first quarter of 2024,” Clark said. A Boeing spokeswoman said the planemaker still anticipated 777x deliveries to start in late 2023. The 777X will be the first major jet to be certified since software flaws in two Boeing 737 MAX planes caused fatal crashes and prompted accusations of cozy relations between the company and the US FAA.<br/>
