Boeing has announced its decision not to showcase the 777-9 and 737 MAX 10 commercial jets at the upcoming Farnborough Airshow in July, according to a statement given to The Air Current.

This decision marks a notable shift from previous airshows, where Boeing’s commercial aircraft were prominently featured. In the 2022 edition of the Farnborough Airshow, as well as last year’s Paris Airshow, Boeing’s commercial jets participated in ground displays and flight presentations.

However, recent events have led to a change in strategy. The company has faced significant public scrutiny over assembly line failures, accusations of fraud, and ongoing financial losses.

Focus on implementing quality and safety plan

In response to these challenges, Boeing has chosen to focus its efforts on implementing a comprehensive quality and safety plan. The company is reallocating engineering and manufacturing resources towards its certification and production programs. This strategic redirection aims to address and overcome the current issues affecting its operations.

Instead, it will showcase Qatar Airways B787-9 & P-8 Poseidon.

Instead of the 777-9 and 737 MAX 10, Boeing will be represented at the Farnborough Airshow by a Qatar Airways Boeing 787-9 and a Royal Air Force (RAF) P-8 Poseidon. The Farnborough International Airshow organizers have confirmed that Boeing will not have any aircraft on display at the trade event.

Qatar Airways will be the only entity featuring a Boeing aircraft on static display during the four-day event, which runs from July 22 to July 26, 2024.

Despite the absence of Boeing’s own aircraft, the company is still expected to attend the airshow. Boeing will likely be involved in several aircraft order announcements, continuing to play a significant role in the industry’s major events.
