We&#8217;re still talking with Boeing&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2024\/04\/boeing-expects-slower-increase-in-787-production-rate-and-deliveries.html\">Boeing expects slower increase in 787 production rate and deliveries<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Asked about Boeing&#8217;s recovery from a broad corporate crisis, he said: &#8220;We&#8217;ve been their customer, we&#8217;ve been their user for a long, long time\u2026a satisfied customer of their 777s and that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m looking at right now. And so hopefully soon we&#8217;ll be announcing that as well.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 777X is the industry&#8217;s largest twin-engined jet with around 400 seats but its entry into service has been delayed by about five years due to problems including certification delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fleet review comes as Korean Air plans to purchase nearly two-thirds of smaller domestic rival Asiana for about $1.4 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With information from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/aerospace-defense\/korean-air-talks-buy-boeing-777x-jets-sources-say-2024-04-24\/\"
