Boeing says 'very close' to restarting 787 deliveries
BOEING is “very close” to restarting deliveries of its 787 aircraft, Commercial Airplanes chief executive officer (CEO) Stan Deal said on Sunday (Jul 17).
B787 deliveries have been halted for a year as Boeing works through inspections and repairs in an industrial headache expected to cost about US$5.5 billion.
Speaking on the eve of the Farnborough air show, Deal also said there was “not a high probability” that the US planemaker would cancel its 737 Max 10 model.
Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun told industry publication Aviation Week earlier this month the company could be forced to cancel the 737 Max 10 over potential regulatory issues. REUTERS
