emirates cancelled all the boeing triple 7x so without any further ado let's begin
the airlines president was reported saying honestly if it goes beyond 2023 and it goes on for
another year we probably cancel the program tim clark told industry publication airline ratings
what else can we do we can continue the way we are boeing really needs to get
their act together and get this aircraft sorted emirates is the world's largest
international carrier according to industry data and the largest user of wide body jets
the american manufacturer hopes to obtain the b triple seven nine tab certificate by july 2023
although the federal aviation administration slowed the certification process in 2021
potentially delaying service entry to the first quarter of 2024 clark disclosed that intensive
engine tests are planned this summer in dubai where the aircraft will be subject to repeated
maximum power takeoffs in hot and dusty conditions while the emirates boss expects to get plenty of
flying miles out of them yet he adds he doesn't want to think about the triple 7x not happening
boeing and emirates are currently renegotiating the aircraft's contract factoring in its delays in
the past emirates switched orders to the smaller 787 but as tim clark explains this can go on
boeing and the faa negotiating a way to restart 787 production there is now a sizable backlog
for many airlines dubai's emirates has told airbus it will not take delivery of a350 passenger jets
that it has ordered if they have surface problems similar to those reported by qatar airways
an airlines president was quoted as saying we made it absolutely clear in toulouse
now that we have the same problem on one of our aircraft we won't take them over
tim clark told industry publication airline ratings our engineers looked at these a350s
and said that they're not in a good shape so we say to tolus by the delivery of the a350 you'll
have cracked this problem otherwise you'll face us with no deliveries either he was reported saying
the gulf carrier is asking british judges to order france-based airbus not to attempt
to deliver any more of the jets until what it describes as a designed effect has been fixed
the two companies have been locked into speed for months about damage including blister paint
cracked window frames or riveted areas and erosion of a layer of lightning production
the a350 in service since 2015 is designed with ample protection to resist storms and is deployed
around the world with high reliability airbus said in an email statement asked about gaps
in the mesh it said some airlines were subject to higher swings and temperatures than others
apparently referring for example to desert conditions in qatar several airlines have now
reported a350 pain problems while qatar airways has complained of deeper underlying issues
with the layer of lightning protection attached to the paint pheneric cathay pacific etihad lufthansa
and air france on behalf of air carribees as all raising concerns about the issue according to
the investigation fener cafe and lufthansa have all cited some cosmetic damage on their a350s
in messages on the board fener who was europe's first a350 operator reported paint damage just a
year after taking its first a350 kathy pacific reported similar problems just weeks later and
in one post said the issue had been found on an a350 just two weeks after taking delivery a boeing
spokesperson said it remains focused on executing the comprehensive series of tests and conditions
to demonstrate the safety and reliability of the airline's design now that we've come to the end of
