Boeing's order book for the 777X consists primarily of Persian Gulf carriers - which has proven problematic for Boeing in recent months while oil prices have dipped and new orders have been slow in coming.

Airbus has announced that delivery of the first A350-900 to Taiwan's China Airlines would be delayed due to supplier issues that have hampered production ramp-up of the new airplane.  The first airplane was expected to be delivered in July, but will now be delayed until the end of September, at best.
