The 777X follows on from the popular but aging 777-300ER, and looks set to become one of the aircraft manufacturer’s key airliners.

Described as “the world’s largest and most efficient twin-engine jet,” the Boeing 777X was originally scheduled to enter into service in 2020, but the launch of the jetliner has been beset by delays.
