Boeing Co. is speeding up efforts for upgrades of the twin-aisle 777 jet, including a roomier interior, raising the possibility that the revised model will be introduced before the stretch version of the 787.
“On the 777-X, things are accelerating,” Randy Tinseth, Boeing’s marketing chief, said in an interview yesterday at the International Society of Transport Aircraft Trading conference in Orlando, Florida. Boeing named Bob Feldman as the head of the program last week, which “shows how important this project is and that we’re making good progress,” Tinseth said.
