Qatar 777x
Posted : admin On 7/23/2022Qatar Airways has stated that they will not be cancelling their orderbook of 60 B777X aircraft and will be receiving their first B777X aircraft in 2022 with deliveries expected through to 2029 as reported by AirlineRatings.
The CEO of Qatar Airways, Akbar Al Baker stated “It is a very good airplane and we will take them all for fleet replacements”
The head of Qatar Airways said Boeing's 777X aircraft programme was experiencing delays, but he was sure that Boeing (BA.N) would catch up and deliveries of the jet would start on time in 2020. The 777X order, first announced as a commitment at the 2013 Dubai Airshow, was part of the largest product launch in commercial jetliner history. In addition, the airline announced a commitment for 50 additional 777-9X purchase rights. If exercised, that would take Qatar's 777X order tally to 100 airplanes valued at $37.7 billion at list prices.

Qatar 777x Boeing
Boeing 777X Orderbook (As at 08 September 2020) Emirates had earlier ordered 150 of the aircraft type, but this figure reduced to 115 as they swapped it for the B787s and last month it was reported by Bloomberg that the airline was looking to swap more B777X for B787s, depending on the reduction of the orderbook this might mean Qatar Airways. 18 hours ago MIAMI – Emirates Airlines (EK) is considering switching between 30 to 40 of its Boeing 777x orders for those of the smaller Boeing 787 Dreamliner. This is more than a third of the airline’s initial 777x order. Though COVID-19 has had a massive impact on the demand for twin-aisle aircraft, EK had.
The aircraft was set to be delivered by the end of 2019, but engine issues resulted in delays which now seems like a blessing in disguise as airlines wouldn’t have necessarily wanted to take in these large-capacity aircraft during the Pandemic.
Emirates has the largest orderbook for the B777X aircraft with Qatar Airways taking second place, but that might change as airlines around the world have either swapped larger aircraft for smaller capacity aircraft, cancel orders or defer delivery dates due to the dampened demand caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic.
