The new Boeing 777X arrived at Dubai World Central at 14:02 (GST) today, preparing for the upcoming Dubai Airshow.
The nearly 15-hour nonstop flight from Seattle’s Boeing Field to Dubai was the first international flight and longest flight to date for the 777X, which continues to undergo a rigorous test program.
Boeing will join the airshow’s flying program and feature the 777X on static display starting Sunday, Nov. 14.
Building on the best of the industry-leading 777 and 787 Dreamliner families, the 777-9 will be the world’s largest and most efficient twin-engine jet, delivering 10% better fuel use, emissions and operating costs than the competition and an exceptional passenger experience.
