Boeing’s 777X wide‑body jet will not begin commercial service until early 2027, a full year later than the 2026 target, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday, 2025‑10‑03. The delay was announced today, marking a new development in the company’s flagship product timeline. The 777X is a key revenue driver for Boeing’s Commercial Airplanes segment, and the postponement directly affects projected cash flows and backlog conversion.
The 777X program has already faced production and certification challenges, and the one‑year delay compounds the risk of missed revenue targets for the next several quarters. A later entry into service means customers will receive the aircraft later, potentially shifting orders to competitors such as Airbus’s A350 family. The delay also raises questions about Boeing’s ability to meet its commercial delivery goals and maintain its market share in the wide‑body segment.
Boeing has not yet issued a formal statement on the delay, but the announcement was made today and is expected to prompt further scrutiny from regulators and customers. The postponement may lead to adjustments in Boeing’s production schedule and could impact the company’s financial outlook for 2027 and beyond. Investors will be watching how Boeing manages the delay and whether it can mitigate the impact on its commercial airplane revenue stream.
