Quote Flight Global - "Boeing completed its first certification test flight of the 777-9 on 12 July after receiving the long-delayed Jet’s “type inspection authorization” (TIA) from the Federal Aviation Administration. That document is a green light from the regulator, certifying that the 777-9 will likely meet certification requirements and approving the start of flight testing for certification credits. Boeing disclosed having received the TIA on 13 January. It has said it expects the 777-9 will enter service next year.."

Entry into service next year might be ambitious.

Entry into service next year might be ambitious. I thought your comment was "tongue in cheek", until I read the previous post...I need to be in boeing's court..I need that confidence.

I wish Boeing the best with certification. Many airlines are urgently waiting for the seat capacity already ordered. But certification flight tests might easily take a year or more, plus all the paperwork afterwards. With upgrades on the engine and possibly software going on this will be a lot of flight test work to be done. Realistically, I'd say EIS is not likely before 2026.
