Boeing halts Dreamliner deliveries

Boeing halts Dreamliner deliveries



through the FAA that the company has suspended deliveries, halted deliveries of the 787 Dreamliner while they do further inspections on a fuselage part. Unclear when they started halting deliveries, though it has been reported by the Wall Street Journal that the last one that was delivered was in late January. But again, this is a part of the fuselage, a component that Boeing is doing further analysis of. And at this time they have not suspended production, it's simply deliveries of new Dreamliners. Now they don't deliver a lot of them every month. Remember they halted production all the way up through May of last year. It was halted for about a year while they were working with the FAA on documentation and analysis of inspections for new planes as they are built.

This is completely separate. This is analysis of a component within the fuselage that Boeing is doing. And until they have finished that analysis and they are comfortable and the FAA is comfortable with what the analysis shows, they are halting deliveries. So that's the story with Boeing, guys. Well, we know you'll keep an eye on that as the situation develops. And of course it comes in the same day that you just spoke to Airbus's CEO just earlier today.
