Boeing resets Starliner plan to be ready for first NASA crew flight by March

said Monday it aims to be ready to fly NASA astronauts with its Starliner capsule for the first time by March, resetting its timeline after the company delayed a planned launch this summer.

"Based on the current plans, we're anticipating that we're going to be ready with the spacecraft in early March," Boeing VP and Starliner manager Mark Nappi said during a press conference. "That does not mean we have a launch date in early March," Nappi added."We're now working with NASA — Commercial Crew program and [International Space Station] — and ULA [United Launch Alliance] on potential launch dates based on our readiness ... we'll work throughout the next several weeks and see where we can get fit in and then then we'll set a launch date."
