Etihad Airways will take delivery of its first 777-300ER on January 6, almost three months later than originally planned. The Abu Dhabi-based airline placed an order for five of the airplanes last December, at which time Boeing promised to deliver the first this past October, followed by two each in November and December. However, the near month-long strike by machinists at Boeing’s Seattle-area facilities in September disrupted production of the 777 and 737 lines.
