Boeing 797 development remains uncertain amid market competition

simpleflying.com

Boeing's development of the 797, a new midsize aircraft, remains uncertain as the market is currently dominated by the Airbus A321XLR. Boeing's recent statements suggest a commitment to the project, but no concrete updates have emerged. The Boeing 757 and 767 are being retired, creating a gap in the midsize aircraft market. Airlines are increasingly turning to the A321XLR for medium-haul routes, while Boeing has not confirmed a timeline for the 797's development. Boeing faces pressure to innovate amid competition from Airbus and new designs like JetZero's blended-wing body aircraft. The future of the 797, including its design and production, remains speculative with no clear direction announced.
