As for the 777xs. Boeing has quite a few on its order sheets, but there is some question as to whether they will ever be delivered. The plane is literally years behind schedule. Airlines find ways to operate around order shortfalls (777x) with different aircraft (A350). I think Emirates is ****ed that BA modified the type of aircraft they ordered in order to make the 777FX. BA does not have their fecal matter in one sock.
The 777XF is based off the 777-8 and doesn’t affect the -9X. Emirates is ****ed because the airplane is late.
