Baroque, are you joking , or betting on the date of first flight ? The discussion was about entry into service ... LOL right! I misread that is first flight. Q1 2021 it should be for EIS.

So, discussions are dragging on. EK apparently wants to defer 777X deliveries and to substitute some 787s to its existing 777X order, while Boeing is resisting the push. I feel the most important disagreement must be on the delivery schedule, since Boeing needs EK to start taking delivery in order to ramp up 777X production. Tim Clark, however, is only talking about 2020, which anyhow, as a consequence of GE9X delays, will see few if any 777X deliveries. The hard discussions must be about the 2020-2025 period. I doubt a settlement is to be announced at the Dubai air show, but who knows ? EDIT : According to Reuters Tim Clark, talking about 777X testing delays, said he insisted on 'a 13 to 16 month test period' for the new aircraft. As it's not his business to plan a test campaign, I think he signals that he is in no hurry to receive 779s. www.reuters.com/article/us-emirates-boeing-transport-aero/emirates-sees-place-for-boeing-787-in-airlines-fleet-president-idUSKBN1WT0KJ
