Le marché des “wide-bodies” est à la peine
extrait
Boeing’s 777X is expected to miss its planned debut in 2021 when the larger version of the 777 mini-jumbo was supposed to be delivered to customers.
The plane is already behind schedule after facing glitches with its General Electric GE9X engines, among other issues.
Another delay is now likely in the cards but Boeing wants to get production “going hard” to put planes in the air by 2022-2023, Reuters reported.
Aircraft buyers are reluctant to take delivery of large aircraft when the pandemic has forced them to shrink operations.
The 777X will be the first new jet to be introduced since the grounding of Boeing’s 737 Max following two fatal crashes, so it is expected to face greater scrutiny from the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and other global aviation regulators.
