Amid fresh troubles for aerospace major Boeing, after a deactivated emergency exit blew out inflight on an Alaska Boeing 737 Max 9, its newest widebody jet — 777-9 — is set to make its Indian debut at Wings India 2024, the company informed in a press release on Friday.
The 777-9 flight test airplane is expected to touch down in Hyderabad on January 16 and will be on static display for the visitors of the Wings India between January 18-19.
Based on the company’s existing twin-aisle airplane, the 777 and with advanced technologies from the 787 Dreamliner family, the 777-9, according to Boeing, will be the world’s largest and most efficient twin-engine jet.
