Emirates Forecasts Slow Boeing 777-9 Deliveries Through 2028

Emirates expects a slow delivery pace for the Boeing 777-9, with the airline anticipating only three to five of the upgraded widebody aircraft in 2027. President Tim Clark indicated during a briefing in Berlin that deliveries could potentially double in 2028.

As the largest buyer of the 777-9, the limited intake for Emirates highlights the continued difficulties Boeing Co. faces in bringing its long-delayed flagship product to market. The delivery forecasts suggest that the manufacturer remains unable to meet the scale of demand for the aircraft.
