Emirates is refurbishing many of its existing 777 aircraft as it waits for the new version, known as the 777x. Clark said that Boeing should pick up the costs of the refurbishment.

He also told reporters in Dubai that Boeing could not say when exactly the new 777x jet would start being delivered.

Boeing has said deliveries would start in 2025, five years later than originally scheduled.
