Boeing faced a challenging year, recording an $11.8 billion loss primarily due to supply chain disruptions, a machinist strike, and issues related to the 737 MAX, as reported by Macro Trends. As the company seeks ways to improve its financial standing, attention has turned to the new Boeing 777X, set to be the most expensive aircraft available in 2025.
Boeing, founded on July 15, 1916, and headquartered in Chicago, saw a 14.5% revenue decline by the end of 2024, totaling $66.5 billion. Despite this, the company succeeded in delivering more aircraft than its competitor Airbus in February, delivering 44 units compared to Airbus's 41, according to ch-aviation.
The new Boeing 777X was introduced in November 2013 and is expected to market at $442.2 million, with initial deliveries beginning in 2026. The aircraft will be available in two variants: the larger 777-9, which can hold 426 passengers, and the smaller 777-8, with a capacity of 395 passengers. Qatar Airways has already placed significant orders for the 777-8F freighter variant with 16 options, with deliveries anticipated starting in 2027. Furthermore, the BBJ 777X, a business jet variant, will be offered at $442.8 million for the 777-8 and $453.6 million for the 777-9, as noted by Luna Jets.
