Boeing 777-9 EIS Nearer As FAA & EASA Qualify First Simulators

Boeing has reached a key training milestone on the path toward bringing the Boeing 777-9 into airline service, after regulators approved the program’s first pilot training simulators. The devices were qualified by the Federal Aviation Administration and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency, enabling their use for formal pilot instruction. Announced on February 19, 2026, the approval applies to simulators located at Boeing's Training Campus in Gatwick, United Kingdom, with additional simulators likely being deployed to other locations. For airlines, this marks the point where preparation shifts from planning to execution.
