DUBAI-<\/strong> Emirates (EK)<\/a> is moving closer to its next-generation fleet plans after its first Boeing 777-9 emerged from production in Everett, Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aircraft is intended for the airline\u2019s long-term operations through Dubai International Airport (DXB), where the 777X will become an important part of its future widebody fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new widebody has been spotted at Seattle Paine Field International Airport (PAE) in Everett wearing its green primer finish ahead of the paint process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simple Flying<\/a> reported the aircraft\u2019s movement from the assembly area, marking another step toward Emirates\u2019 planned first 777X delivery in 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Emirates 777-9 Moves Toward Completion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The aircraft is the first of a large group of Boeing 777X<\/a> aircraft ordered by Emirates. The airline has 270 Boeing 777X aircraft in its orderbook, making it the largest customer for the program. Emirates added 65 Boeing 777-9s at the 2025 Dubai Airshow, taking its total 777X commitment to 270 aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aircraft recently seen in Everett has completed a major stage of production and is now heading toward its final exterior finish. Its current green appearance comes from the primer applied before the final airline paint scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The paint process will involve multiple coats and is expected to take several weeks. Once completed, the aircraft will appear in Emirates colors for the first time, providing a more visible indication of its eventual role in the airline\u2019s fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
