Emirates, the biggest international airline, has yet to sign off on its $76 billion purchase of 150 Boeing Co. 777X wide-body planes as it extends a dialog over issues such as performance guarantees, the manufacturer said.
The 777X order announced at the Dubai Air Show in November amounted to a commitment rather than a firm contract, and there remains work to be done in areas also including technical support and warranties before the deal is secured, according to Marty Bentrott, who heads up Boeing sales in the Middle East.
