HONG KONG (AFP) - Hong Kong flag-carrier Cathay Pacific has ordered 21 long haul Boeing 777-9X planes at a list price of US$7.48 billion dollars (S$9.48 billion), the firm announced on Friday, as part of its fleet modernisation program.


The 777X series is Boeing's newest member of the 777 family, with advanced technology including new composite wings and new engines that consume 20 per cent less fuel than today's 777.

Hmm. When is Qantas getting a new plane? Are they actually getting the 787-9 or is just optioned?

For QFi, the 787-9 remains optioned.
The only 'new' planes are the 10 A330s that are returning from Jetstar as it gets 787-8s (some are coming back, others started with Jetstar)
They will however have a new internal product.
