777-9 1st flight delayed to early 2020. Meaning SQ might not get theirs till 2022.
Issue is the stator vane actuators on the front-end of the compressor are not as durable as expected so GE is re-engineering them to improve maintenance intervals.

This event is a very serious incident. If it happens after take off, we will very likely to see a hull loss.
The 744F also had a similar pressurization testing failure.
The A380 also had a structural failure during ultimate load testing.
In the end, they all made it to production and are flying.
