Aviation News – Boeing is preparing to fly its 777-9 test aircraft for the first time in almost five years, according to The Air Current editor Jon Ostrower. The aircraft, part of Boeing’s next-generation 777X series, has been largely grounded since its initial test flights due to delays and certification hurdles. The anticipated return to the skies signals progress in the 777X program, which is critical to Boeing’s wide-body strategy. While no official flight date has been confirmed, sources suggest the flight could happen soon, marking a pivotal step toward eventual commercial delivery.
