Boeing Begins Crucial 777-9 Certification Flight Tests

The long-delayed aircraft undergoes extensive trials with FAA oversight, marking a significant step toward market entry in 2025.

Boeing has initiated certification flight testing for the 777-9 with FAA officials on board.
The 777-9, part of the 777X project, has faced multiple delays since its development began in 2013.
The certification process follows rigorous scrutiny due to past issues with Boeing's 737 MAX.
The 777-9 test fleet will undergo the most thorough commercial flight test effort in Boeing's history.
Boeing aims to have the 777-9 ready for market entry by the first quarter of 2025.
