The brief
Boeing's CEO has stated that the development of a new aircraft is currently hampered by a backlog of existing orders. The company intends to shift engineers toward its first all-new jet in two decades only after the MAX 10 and 777-9 achieve certification.
Coverage from the Wall Street Journal, CNBC, and Fox Business emphasizes that Boeing must first repair its finances and shore up its balance sheet. According to the Financial Times, the company expects to be ready to fund a new plane program by 2030.
Future developments depend on the certification of the MAX 10 and 777-9, as well as the company's ability to stabilize its finances over the next couple of years.
