Boeing reaffirms it is on track to develop the 777X derivative for service entry by the end of the decade and is not stalling the new widebody project. Denying a Seattle Times report that development progress is slowing, Ray Conner, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, says, “Our timing on a decision to offer that airplane has not changed. We are absolutely committed to the 777X and continue to invest the necessary time and resources to ensure we produce a superior airplane for our customers.”
As engines become increasingly reliable and stay longer on-wing, the battle over spare parts is becoming a sensitive sparring ground as manufacturers try to guard a traditional source of income and maintenance-savvy airlines try to cut costs. The stand-off is set to become more intense in the U.S. where Delta Air Lines’ Technical Operations maintenance arm is exploring a raft of new technologies for engine overhaul and repair, some of which is currently performed by the original manufacturers, as part of efforts to cut costs and boost revenue.
