It was going to be the world\u2019s largest twin-engined jet, the most efficient on a per-seat basis, the only credible direct rival to the Airbus A350-1000. It was supposed to be in service by 2020. Seven years late and counting, the 777-9 has now collected its own special category of trouble: more than thirty completed airframes sitting in Everett storage that the airlines who ordered them no longer want to take.<\/p>\n\n<p>Industry insiders have a name for it. The \"terrible teens\" \u2014 the 30-odd aircraft built between 2020 and 2024, certified to a now-superseded standard, with pre-production-quality construction and a known list of in-service modifications that will need to be retrofitted before any operator will accept delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#f0f0f0;padding:18px 22px;margin:24px 0;border-radius:8px;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-weight:600;color:#333\">Quick Facts<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Aircraft type:<\/strong> Boeing 777-9 (also known as 777X-9)<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Stored frames in question:<\/strong> Approximately 30-32 aircraft, built between 2020 and 2024<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Build location:<\/strong> Boeing Everett, Washington<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Original entry-into-service plan:<\/strong> 2020<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Current entry-into-service target:<\/strong> 2027<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Total programme delay:<\/strong> At least seven years<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Key issue:<\/strong> Aircraft built before certification standards finalised; significant retrofit required<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Notable launch customers:<\/strong> Emirates, Qatar Airways, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines, ANA, Cathay Pacific<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>List price:<\/strong> Approximately $450 million per aircraft<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">How a flagship became a problem<\/h2>\n\n<p>The 777-9 has been in development since 2013. Its development cycle has been dominated by problems Boeing did not anticipate: a roughly five-month grounding of the test fleet from August 2024, after a cracked engine thrust link was discovered following a test flight, a re-engineered General Electric GE9X engine whose certification process repeatedly exposed durability problems, and an FAA certification regime that \u2014 in the wake of the 737 MAX disaster \u2014 has become more demanding than at any point since the 1990s.<\/p>\n\n<p>While Boeing fought through those problems, it kept building airframes. Roughly thirty 777-9s rolled off the Everett production line between 2020 and 2024, each one going straight from final assembly into long-term storage at Paine Field, Moses Lake, or Boeing\u2019s desert reserve at Victorville. They have been sitting in the Pacific Northwest weather for years.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/05\/fix-1071994-0-boeing-777x-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Boeing 777-9 landing\" style=\"display:block;width:100%!important;max-width:100%!important;height:auto!important;border-radius:6px\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">A Boeing 777-9 flight test aircraft on landing approach. The certified production standard now differs significantly from the configuration of the stored \"terrible teens\" airframes. (Wikimedia Commons)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Why airlines are saying no<\/h2>\n\n<p>The fundamental problem is that the certification standard the 777-9 will finally enter service to is materially different from the standard the early airframes were built to. The flight control software has changed. The engine control software has changed. Wiring routing has changed in several systems. The pre-2025 frames will need an expensive sequence of retrofits before any customer will accept them \u2014 and customers, having waited six years, are now in a much stronger negotiating position than they were when they signed their original purchase agreements.<\/p>\n\n<p>Several customers \u2014 Emirates publicly, Qatar Airways and Lufthansa privately \u2014 have told Boeing they will not accept early-build airframes at any price unless Boeing absorbs the entire retrofit cost. Some are pushing further: they want completely new-build aircraft to the final production standard, and they want the stored airframes treated as a Boeing problem to be sold on, leased out, or written off.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #d32f2f;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7;display:flex;gap:20px;align-items:flex-start\"><div><em>Emirates president Sir Tim Clark &mdash; the 777X&rsquo;s biggest customer and its most vocal critic &mdash; has repeatedly made clear that Emirates has run out of patience with the programme, does not intend to accept aircraft needing years of additional rework to reach the standard it ordered, and regards the early production airframes as Boeing&rsquo;s problem to resolve.<\/em><div style=\"margin-top:10px;font-size:14px;color:#555\"><strong>Sir Tim Clark<\/strong> &mdash; President, Emirates Airline<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">What the \"terrible teens\" become<\/h2>\n\n<p>The industry\u2019s assumption is that Boeing will eventually take a substantial financial writedown on the stored aircraft. Some may be retrofitted to current standard and offered to second-tier customers at heavy discount. Some may be converted to freighter configuration one day &mdash; though the only 777X freighter Boeing has actually launched is the smaller 777-8F, where the certification differences matter less. A small number may end up in test or training roles. The rest may simply be parted out \u2014 a $450 million list-price aircraft reduced to its engines, landing gear, and avionics for resale as spares.<\/p>\n\n<p>None of those outcomes are good for Boeing\u2019s books. The 777-9 programme is already estimated to be over $10 billion in the red. The terrible teens add another $3-5 billion of inventory carrying cost and writedowns. For a company still recovering from the 737 MAX disaster and the 787 quality crisis, it is the kind of problem that does not get solved this decade.<\/p>\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">The Airbus A350-1000 keeps winning<\/h2>\n\n<p>While Boeing has been trying to deliver the 777-9 since 2020, Airbus has been quietly delivering A350-1000s \u2014 over 130 of them now in service with operators including Qatar Airways, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Air France, and Lufthansa. The A350-1000 is a smaller aircraft than the 777-9, but it is real, available, and operating profitably. Every month Boeing fails to ship a 777-9 is another month Airbus picks up another long-haul widebody order that should have been Boeing\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sources: Simple Flying; The Air Current; Reuters aviation desk; Boeing earnings filings.<\/em><\/p>\n<!-- mfsh:bottom -->\n\n<button type=\"button\" class=\"mfsh-trigger mfsh-bottom\" data-mfsh-placement=\"bottom\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\"><svg><use href=\"#mfsh-i-share\"\/><\/svg>Share this story<\/button>\n\n<!-- \/mfsh:bottom -->\n\n\n<!-- mf-faq -->\n\n<div class=\"mf-faq-block\"><style>.mf-faq-block{margin:34px 0}.mf-faq-item:not([open]) .mf-faq-answer{display:none !important}.mf-faq-block h2.mf-faq-h{padding-top:22px;margin-bottom:14px}.mf-faq-item{border:1px solid #e2e8f5;border-radius:8px;margin:0 0 10px;background:#fff}.mf-faq-item summary{list-style:none;cursor:pointer;padding:15px 50px 15px 18px;font-weight:600;color:#1a1a1a;position:relative;line-height:1.45;user-select:none}.mf-faq-item summary::-webkit-details-marker{display:none}.mf-faq-item summary::after{content:\"+\";position:absolute;right:18px;top:50%;transform:translateY(-50%);font-size:1.5em;font-weight:400;color:#5C91FF;line-height:1}.mf-faq-item[open] summary::after{content:\"\\2013\"}.mf-faq-item[open] summary{border-bottom:1px solid #eef1f8}.mf-faq-item summary:hover{background:#f5f8ff}.mf-faq-answer{padding:14px 18px;color:#333;line-height:1.6}.mf-faq-answer p{margin:0}.mf-faq-answer a{color:#5C91FF}<\/style><h2 class=\"mf-faq-h\">Related Questions<\/h2><details class=\"mf-faq-item\"><summary>Why are Boeing 777-9 jets sitting in storage?<\/summary><div class=\"mf-faq-answer\"><p>About 30 to 32 Boeing 777-9s built between 2020 and 2024 sit in storage at Everett because they were assembled before certification standards were finalised.
