Boeing is set to highlight its premier commercial, defense, and services portfolio at the 2023 Dubai Airshow. One of the showstoppers will be the new widebody 777-9 jet gracing the flying display. Attendees will also witness the groundbreaking F-15QA (Qatar Advanced) fighter’s debut air show performance, showcasing the digital prowess of the Qatar Emiri Air Force F-15.

Boeing’s flagship 777-9 flight-test aircraft is not just on static display but will also steal the limelight in the flying display. Recognized as the world’s most formidable and efficient twin-engine jet, the 777-9 inherits the legacy of the 777 family, enriched with cutting-edge technology from the iconic 787 Dreamliner.
