It is. At the current rate of production, Boeing has a looming production gap before 777X enter production. I would say that the gap is probably even wider than shown on the Leeham chart, which includes options, purchase rights and LOIs, not all of which are likely to be converted into orders.
Boeing will try to boost sales, probably using larger discount rates, though company executives are unlikely to say so in public. If market conditions allow it, they will also make a special effort to sell the freighter version.
If this not enough, the pace of production will be reduced to match demand.

Is it because customers wait for 777X? Or where they forced to launch 777X because the orders was already declining? |

I think it is because a new generation of large aircraft (A350-1000 and 777X) has been launched, which creates a risk to the resale value of newly delivered present generation aircraft. Airlines with no urgent need for more capacity are likely to wait.

The major reason would be the A350 - with almost the same size but considerably better economy.
We can say that 772 passenger version is dead. 77F lives - but the CARGO market overall is weak, so...
I think they will have a problem to fill those slots and as Philidor predicts - the production will drop.
Simply the WORLD can not absorb so many WB planes those two can produce.

Didn't they just recently firm an order for 10 A350s? Quite strange for them to opt for a split fleet considering how small it would be. |
