Lufthansa Joins Boeing 777X Delay Woes, Rethinks Order Delivery

Lufthansa is reconsidering its order for the Boeing 777X due to ongoing certification delays, which have pushed back delivery dates years beyond initial promises.

The German flag carrier would join United Airlines and Emirates as major carriers rethinking their orders for the delayed widebody aircraft.

'We are in talks with Boeing on which airplanes we will not accept for commercial service and which aircraft can be modernised with a financial contribution of Boeing,' Lufthansa's CEO Carsten Spohr said.
