Massive Rework Effort Underway For Troubled Widebody Program
Boeing has announced that approximately 30 completed 777X aircraft will require a ‘change incorporation’ process before they can be delivered to airlines. The rework stems from design changes identified during the prolonged certification flight test program, with older airframes requiring the most extensive modifications. Boeing has assembled a dedicated team to manage the rework program, aiming to bring all stored aircraft to a common configuration before applying final changes.
