Stored Boeing 777`s in KPAE

[Dennis Löffler]

Hello,
I have one question.
I follow the production on http://kpae.blogspot.com/# for a long time and I want to know what happens with the three EVA Air 773 (all three are stored, two since some month and one brand new). Are they stored for some month and then EVA Air take up this aircrafts or are they "not taken up"?
Interesting is that these three 773 are the last ones for EVA Air!

I also note that two Continental 772 in Star Alliance c/s are standing on the area for some month, too! But theay stand on the production line. Are they stored, too or there are some problems with the aircrafts? Or Boeing waiting fot the command to paint with the new United lettering?

Thanks for the answer!

Simple answer: The issue is seat deliveries from Koito. For some background see: http://www.flightglobal.com/articles...seat-test.html

The EVA Air 777s have technically been delivered to the airline but lack seats in part or whole. This is why they aren't on the Boeing ramp. The Continental 777s are delayed pending seats and haven't been delivered yet.
