Emirates has placed a firm order with Boeing for a further 90 777X, including for the smaller 777-8 variant, while flydubai has ordered its first 787s.
Boeing has revealed initial details of how the long-delayed certification effort for its 777-9 will be structured, with WH003 set to play a leading role.
Boeing had a quiet Paris Air Show in terms of new orders, but it continues to make progress on two key commercial programs bogged down in regulatory scrutiny.
The move to restart supplier shipments could suggest confidence in the 777-9’s certification progress, which has faced several hurdles in the past two years.
