The -100 wasn't continued in production due to loss of interest. In the 21st century, Boeing has developed what will be in use for some different airlines, called the Boeing 777X. Projects have been delayed because of COVID-19, but will return to normal production.{{cite web|title=Technical Information|url=http://www.boeing.com/boeing/commercial/777family/specs.page?|publisher=Boeing|access-date=5 December 2013}}
