Boeing seeks FAA waiver to sell 35 more 777F freighters amid delays in certifying the newer 777-8F model.
Boeing is asking the FAA for a waiver to sell 35 more 777F freighters, citing strong demand and delays in certifying its newer 777-8F model, which won’t be ready before 2028.
The 777F is the only large widebody freighter in production and the most fuel-efficient in its class, crucial for U.S. air cargo exports totaling $600 billion in 2024.
Without the waiver, Boeing warns it could lose over $15 billion in export value, as each 777F sold abroad adds $440 million to the U.S. trade balance.
The FAA’s 2024 emissions rules, aimed at reducing aviation carbon pollution, apply to new aircraft after February 2024 but not existing models.
The 777-8F will meet the 2028 standards but won’t deliver until after that date.
Boeing seeks FAA approval by May 2025.
