From Quebec to Alabama, Qatar Airways’ order for hundreds of new GE engines will benefit workers across the US and beyond.

As Boeing’s flagship, the Boeing 777X is the closest thing to replacing the Jumbo, although it is not a direct replacement.

The cost of a new 777X is in the low hundreds of millions, while the cost of a mid-life 777-300ER is in the tens of millions.

The American aircraft manufacturer plans to install new thrust links later this summer.
