Estimated: FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford said 'I think we'll get the MAX 7 first, then followed by the -10 and hopefully the 777 early next year' (Aviation Week[1][2][3][4], 28 May 2026); on 21 October 2026 Aviation Week reported 'increasing signs that initial deliveries of the Boeing 777-9 might slip further into 2027'. No certification day is given, so the pin sits at the start of that 2027 window.As of 21 October 2026 the 777-9 is still in FAA type-certification testing: ETOPS flight-test approval is on hold over a GE9X engine mid-seal issue, and the FAA Administrator has said he hopes certification comes early in 2027.
