Of particular concern appears to be the Boeing 777. Emirates only flies that model and the Airbus A380 jumbo jet. It said it will stop using the model in the continental U.S. for now.

Taiwan’s EVA Air also said the FAA specifically said 777s may be affected, but it did not spell out how it would adjust its schedule.
