Here's Why In the aviation industry, the stance of a major airline on a particular aircraft can determine and influence industry confidence, and even sway the purchasing decisions of other carriers. Now, Cathay Pacific has made a shocking statement regarding the Boeing Triple 7X, one that could threaten its overall success and profoundly impact the program's future. So, what exactly has Cathay Pacific revealed? And how will this affect the fate of Boeing’s highly anticipated aircraft? Let’s find out. Cathay Pacific Just Breaks Silence and Shocks Boeing! Here's Why Boeing has every reason to be concerned after yet an airline expressed its attitude about the delays in the delivery of the Triple 7X. Cathay Pacific Airways has called the delay in receiving Boeing's flagship long-haul Triple 7X jet a "disappointment," marking the airline’s strongest criticism yet of the troubled aircraft manufacturer. “We want all our aircraft, and we’d like them to be delivered at the time that they’re promised,” said Alex McGowan, Cathay’s Chief Operations and Service Delivery Officer, in an interview in Hong Kong on Tuesday. “When they’re not, that’s a disappointment to us.” Cathay Pacific Just Breaks Silence and Shocks Boeing! Here's Why McGowan’s remarks came on the sidelines of an event celebrating the airline recent multi billion dollars agreement with the US manufacturer main rival, Airbus SE, for up to 150 aircraft. These criticisms align with previous comments made by Emirates Airline President Tim Clark, who has called for serious conversations with Boeing regarding shortcomings in its contractual commitments. Boeing announced last year that the first delivery of the wide body Triple 7X aircraft will take place in 2026, instead of 2025, but it is now five years later than the original plan. The prolonged delays have forced customers worldwide to reconsider their fleet plans, often meaning they must continue using older aircraft longer.
