Boeing is on the verge of securing a significant order for its 777X widebody aircraft from Emirates, offering a crucial lift to a program facing delays. Emirates, already the largest buyer of 777X planes, is reportedly set to order a substantial double-digit number, with the possibility of its affiliate FlyDubai taking smaller 787 Dreamliner orders. This deal would be a pivotal endorsement for Boeing’s flagship aircraft, which has struggled to attract sales amid delays. The Dubai Air Show, starting soon, could serve as the backdrop for major aviation deals, with Turkish Airlines also expected to make significant commitments to Airbus.
