IAG sees first 777-9 delivery slipping to 2028

IAG anticipates a significant delay in receiving its initial Boeing 777-9 aircraft, now projecting delivery for 2028 instead of the previously anticipated date. This postponement follows ongoing challenges impacting aircraft deliveries across the aerospace industry. Simultaneously, IAG has revised its fleet plans, expecting to take twelve rather than sixteen other types of aircraft this year. The airline group received two additional aircraft during the third quarter. These adjustments reflect broader uncertainties surrounding global supply chains and production timelines affecting major commercial airliners.
