Boeing is having a rough week 😬

After extensive review by experts across the agency, NASA's @BoeingSpace Crew Flight Test will return with an uncrewed #Starliner. Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams are scheduled to return to Earth next spring aboard #Crew9: go.nasa.gov/3WYxWQ7

Starliner, a white cone with a cylindrical base, is attached to hardware just barely visible on the right side of the image.

Seems like it's gonna be a quiet day at #Farnborough. No commercial announcements planned for either Boeing or Airbus. Most people I've talked to have shared that this airshow has been more low-key than most. Considering I'm still jet lagged I'm not complaining

Wow. After buying 20 787s yesterday, JAL orders 20 A350 and 11 A321NEOs Big, big show for JAL. #Farnborough2024 #FarnboroughAirshow

Not sure if someone accidentally hit “send”early, but just got an email from Airbus comms saying Virgin is buying 7 more A330NEOs. Schedule says that customer announcement was supposed to be at 11:30…

Why do I look like a giant in this pictures 😂 In all seriousness, the A220's cockpit is super spacious for a narrow body. Thanks to @JetBlue for having me aboard!

Btw…remember how the 787-10 was supposed to gain more range w a HGW? Had sources confirm that that initiative is in the back burner and isn’t coming in late 2024 like originally anticipated. Big W for the A350-900.

Update: Boeing’s 9:30 presser isn’t a commercial announcement - it’s an update about their X-66 demonstrator. No money to be made here but should still be interesting

Farnborough Day 2: we’re being told to expect a Boeing commercial announcement at 9:30 UTC and an Airbus one at 11:30. I’ll keep y’all updated right here

Summary of day 1: 74 orders options for Boeing, 5 orders for Airbus, 0 for Embraer. I’m hearing rumors tomorrow should be a big day too. Stay tuned…

JAL orders 20 more 787s. And here I was thinking they were on the verge of defecting to Airbus…

So, Korean ordered 20 777Xs (and 20 more 787s). And for some reason myself and a bunch of my media colleagues didn’t get a notice about the press conference… I guess Boeing *doesn’t* want good publicity? 🤔

First deal of the show for Boeing: National Airlines orders 4 (last gen) 777Fs. Not exactly the sexiest order ever...standby for Korean

#Farnborough Day 1: After a beautiful and sunny day zero, day 1 kicks off with clouds and drizzles. You didn't really expect the UK to produce a full week of nice weather, did you?

Breaking: Boeing won’t bring any of their flight test aircraft to the Farnborough airshow. They also won’t be bringing Starliner, opting to leave it docked at the space station indefinitely 🤷🏼‍♂️
