Boeing's Biggest, Newest Jet Has NO US Buyers

Boeing spent over $30 billion building its newest jet, the 777X, and not one US Airline wants it 🇺🇸 To check out a more successful and more incremental Boeing development, hop on over here next:    • Why Airlines Are Hiding Boeing's New 787 A...   Why is Boeing’s most advanced jet - with folding wings, record-breaking efficiency, and a $30 billion price tag - ignored by every major US airline? The Boeing 777X is a marvel of modern aviation: the largest jet engine ever built (the GE9X, wider than a 737 fuselage), wings that fold to fit standard gates, and fuel savings of up to 20% per seat compared to its predecessor. Yet Delta, American, and United have all said no. Zero orders. Meanwhile, Emirates alone has ordered 270. So what’s going on? In this deep dive, I unpack the shocking reasons behind the 777X’s US rejection - and why airlines like Lufthansa, Emirates, and Qatar are betting billions on it instead. From years of delays (including a terrifying mid-test engine mount failure) to a fundamental shift in how airlines fly long-haul, this is the story of how Boeing’s biggest gamble became a plane too advanced for its own market.
