LOS ANGELES – More than 20 U.S. states are sharpening their pencils to bid on assembly of Boeing's 777X follow-on twinjet, now that a second attempt to negotiate a contract extension with Boeing machinists in Puget Sound, Wash., has foundered. Boeing says that on Dec. 12, “in response to a proposal presented yesterday by the union to secure 777X work in the Puget Sound region, Boeing presented a best and final counterproposal. That offer was rejected by the union leadership.”
Cathay Pacific Airways has ordered 21 Boeing 777-9Xs as part of the Hong Kong-based carrier’s high-capacity fleet renewal strategy for the next decade. Boeing originally hoped that the deal—worth in excess of $7 billion at current list prices—could have been announced at the recent Dubai Airshow, where the 777X program was launched on the back of 259 orders and commitments worth $95 billion. However a last-minute board decision by Cathay delayed the final agreement until the announcement of the contract this week.
