One of Boeing's Most Important Customers Says 777X Debut Could Slip Beyond 2022

Boeing's (NYSE: BA) 777X, already delayed until 2022, might not arrive until 2023 or even later, according to the plane's most important customer. In an interview today with Reuters, Tim Clark, president of Emirates, said his airline is not assuming the plane will arrive in 2022 as anticipated. Emirates represents about one-third of the 777X order book, but the airline has said previously it could consider swapping some of its orders with different planes depending on market conditions and how long it will take for the 777X to arrive.
