The first Boeing 777X delivery is now expected in 2027 , with recent reporting pointing to May or June 2027 for Emirates’ first aircraft. Boeing also says the program is still working toward first delivery in 2027, though certification timing remains the main uncertainty.

Quick Scoop

  • Most likely timeframe: mid-2027.
  • Specific estimate reported: May or June 2027 for Emirates.
  • Why it can still slip: certification delays from regulators have kept the schedule under pressure.

What this means

Boeing’s public guidance still centers on 2027 for first delivery, and the newest airline comment narrows that to late spring or early summer.

So the safest short answer is: expect the first 777X delivery in 2027, probably around May or June if current plans hold.

TL;DR

First delivery: 2027 Best current estimate: May or June 2027 Main risk: certification delays
