JANUARY 21, 2020 / 1:01 PM / UPDATED 3 HOURS AGO

- Boeing plans to carry out the first test flight of its delayed 777X airplane later this week,
said two people familiar with the matter on Tuesday.

A source close to one of the wide-body jet’s nine firm customers said
the flight would take place on Thursday or Friday
at Boeing’s commercial base outside Seattle, depending on weather.

Another person familiar with the programme said the flight would happen late this week.

Boeing could not immediately be reached for comment.

The 777X first flight is currently holding pending a decrease in the wind speed at Paine Field.

Winds need to be below 10 kts for takeoff.
Currently 17 kts, gusting to 25.
