Boeing will showcase a model of the new 777X, now in development and build, at the Singapore Airshow. Models of the 737 MAX and 787 airplanes, which have been delivered to many customers in the Asia-Pacific, will also be on display.

“Singapore is a global aviation hub and the headquarters for our Southeast Asia operations, where we have enjoyed 70 years of presence and partnership,” said Skip Boyce, president, Boeing Southeast Asia. “As our product line-up and customer requirements continue to evolve, we are confident and committed to delivering enhanced capabilities to our customers while growing our regional presence.”

The 777X will feature GE9X new engines, new composite wings with folding wingtips and a denser cabin. Launched more than four years ago, the 777X series has two variants – the 777-8, which has seating for 365 and range of over 8,700 nmi, and the 777-9, which will seat 414 passengers and have a range of over 7,600 nmi (14,075 km). Deliveries of the 777-9 is expected to begin in December 2019.

The Asia-Pacific region is Boeing Commercial Airplanes’ fastest growing market. Encouraged by the strong demand for the 737 Max and 787 in the region, Boeing Training and Professional Services has introduced a 737 Max 8 full-flight simulator as well as a 787-9 simulator at its Singapore campus.
