Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. labeled the delayed delivery of Boeing Co.’s flagship long-haul 777X jet a “disappointment,” in its strongest critique of the beleaguered plane manufacturer.
“We want all our aircraft, and we’d like them to be delivered at the time that they’re promised,” Alex McGowan, Cathay’s Chief Operations and Service Delivery Officer, said in an interview in Hong Kong on Tuesday. “When they’re not, that’s a disappointment to us.”
