Emirates<\/strong> could cancel an order for Boeing 777X <\/strong>passenger jets if the model’s entry into service slips beyond the end of 2023, the airline’s president was reported saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Honestly, if it goes beyond 2023, and it goes on for another year, we probably cancel the program,” Tim Clark told industry publication AirlineRatings, Reuters <\/a>reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“What else can we do? We can\u2019t continue the way we are. Boeing really needs to get their act together and get this aircraft sorted.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emirates is the world’s largest international carrier, according to industry data, and largest user of wide-body jets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Don\u2019t forget the aircraft was originally designed for delivery in April 2020; it\u2019s now 2024 if we are lucky. You\u2019ve now got a four-year delay with the programme. If they got another year on it, we are going to question if this is fit for purpose or not, what\u2019s the problem with it?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Boeing spokesperson said it “remains focused on executing the comprehensive series of tests and conditions to demonstrate the safety and reliability of the airplane\u2019s design”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plane is due to be certified in mid-2023 but Clark, who has voiced frustration over delays in the past, told AirlineRatings Boeing had only given a conditional response when he had asked whether that certification date remained on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was also reported by AirlineRatings saying Boeing had built 12 of Emirates’ 777X and placed them in storage without their engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emirates originally ordered 150 of the twin-engined jets in 2013, becoming by far their biggest customer. It later trimmed the order to 115 jets partly by swapping them for 787s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Clark also criticized delays in production of the 787, for which Emirates has 30 orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
