The Simple Flying Podcast Episode 245: American Airlines Crash, 1st Boeing 777X Customer

Join Tom and Channing for the latest news from the world of aviation.

Emirates, the world’s largest Boeing 777X customer, is still waiting for them. Deliveries are set to begin in 2026.

Boeing previously outlined that the 737 MAX 7 and 737 MAX 10 should be certified in 2025, and the 777-9 in 2026.

Boeing ended 2024 with a net loss of $11.8 billion.

Cathay Pacific already has at least 72 firm aircraft in its backlog.

However, Boeing booked another pre-tax charge on the 777X, which reflected higher labor costs.

This was the Boeing 777-9’s first flight since September 2024.

On January 15, 2015, Qatar Airways operated the first-ever commercial A350 flight.

Boeing last operated a 777-9 flight in September 2024, when it ferried N779XY from Hawaii to the continental United States.

In addition to 348 deliveries in 2024, Boeing secured 569 gross orders for its commercial aircraft.
