The 777X isn't even flying right now.
- isostatic 8y agoWhen airlines are looking to buy aircraft in 2021, they'll have a choice between A350, A380, and 77X. Very few situations will call for a new A380.
- Xixi 8y agoAnd given A350-1000 and 777-8/9 order books, very few situations call for even these... Most of the traffic growth is being eaten by the smaller planes that are getting quite a bit bigger: 50 regional seaters are being replaced by 100 seaters, A319/A320 are being replaced by A320/A321, etc. Meanwhile the bigger planes are getting smaller: 747 being downsized to 777-300ER, A350-900 or even 787-9.
