Boeing Delay Prompts Emirates to Delay Premium Economy Start - Bloomberg

Boeing Delay Prompts Emirates to Delay Premium Economy Start - Bloomberg:

Emirates President Tim Clark doubts the world’s biggest long-haul airline will receive Boeing Co.’s 777x jetliner on time, causing a delay in the launch of its premium economy class.

When asked at a Dubai media briefing on Sunday about the planes being delivered on time in June 2020, Clark replied: “I would strongly suggest that it won’t.”

Boeing has pushed back the first flight of its 777X to 2020, saying deliveries may be delayed amid problems with its General Electric Co.-made turbines. Emirates is the launch customer for the plane, with 150 orders.
