Business Class Seats On The Boeing 777X Might Cost More Than A Car

Emirates President Sir Tim Clark is not afraid to voice his opinions on the decisions made by Airbus and Boeing, with him prominently expressing frustration at the repeated delays with the Boeing 777-9. By this point, the carrier should have received over 100 examples, and yet, the plane remains in the certification process. For Emirates, this is a major problem because the 777-9 is intended to debut new business seats, and the nearly seven-year delay led Emirates to scrap its original seats for the plane, costing between €20 and €30 million, as per Sir Tim Clark himself.
