Emirates to get first Boeing 777-9 in 2027
Emirates Airlines expects to receive its first Boeing 777-9 aircraft in the second quarter of 2027, after a lengthy delay that has lasted for many years since the original planned delivery in 2020. The aircraft is nearing certification approval from the United States Federal Aviation Administration. The company's CEO, Tim Clark, confirmed that adding this aircraft to the fleet presents a significant challenge due to the repeated delays, and he anticipates that the airline will begin operating it in 2027. Clark called on aircraft manufacturers to continue investing in new technologies and to encourage greater ambitions in aircraft development, despite warnings from some airline executives who criticized rushing into the development of a new generation before the completion of current aircraft programs—particularly given the challenges related to delivery delays and certification procedures.
