Boeing says that despite an aggressive program to improve the 787-8’s in-service reliability levels, the aircraft’s overall performance is not expected to reach that of the 777 until sometime before mid-2014. During the Dubai air show, Boeing Commercial Sales Vice President Marty Bentrott said some operators, such as Qatar Airways, have experienced “some early teething problems,” and also have seen “reliability issues with some components.”
Boeing on Nov. 17 officially launched the 777X derivative at the Dubai air show on the back of 259 orders from four airlines worth almost $100 billion, making it the largest single commercial launch by value in the history of the industry.
A decision over where and how to make the all-composite wing for the 777X is the key pacing item for the large new twin derivative, says Boeing Commercial Airplanes President and CEO Ray Conner.
