Boeing Aims to Revive 777X Program Amid Financial Challenges

Boeing is planning the first flight of its long-delayed 777X aircraft in April 2026, according to a company document. The milestone follows years of challenges for the program, including significant financial impact on Boeing. Fuel tests are currently ongoing at Paine Field, with engine tests scheduled for later this year. Despite these delays, several airlines have placed orders for the 777-9 variant, indicating strong long-term demand.
