Boeing’s new 777X mini-jumbos are on fire at the Dubai Air Show (but not literally)

At the Dubai Air Show, Boeing claims the largest product launch in the history of commercial aviation.

Boeing’s new 777X airplanes led the Dubai Air Show’s opening day. The company claims orders of roughly $95 billion, purported to be the largest product launch in the history of commercial aviation.

The BBC’s Simon Atkinson notes that the Dubai Air Show is host to the world’s fastest-growing carriers, and they’re looking for more aircrafts to meet high demand.

“The Middle East really has become a hub for global aviation over the past decade,” he says.
