WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Boeing (NYSE:) Co is preparing for a new delay in the 777X program, the Air Current aviation industry publication reported on Friday.

The U.S. planemaker expects to delay the certification target until late 2024 — or by another nine to 12 months for the wide-body aircraft, the Air Current reported. Reuters reported earlier Federal Aviation Administration warned Boeing in a March 21 letter that existing certification schedules for the 737 MAX 10 and 777X were “outdated and no longer reflect the program activities.”
