Boeing has faced production issues with the 787 for more than two years.
This counts as good news for BoeingThe FAA approved Boeing's proposal that requires specific inspections to verify the condition of the airplane meets requirements and that all work has been completed, a move that should allow Boeing to resume deliveries in August after it halted them in May 2021, the sources said.On July 17, Boeing told reporters it was"very close" to restarting 787 deliveries.The FAA referred questions about the approval to Boeing.
Boeing Chief Financial Officer Brian West said this week on an investor call that it had 120 of the 787s in inventory and was"making progress completing the necessary rework to prepare them for delivery." Boeing is"producing at very low rates and we'll continue to do so until deliveries resume, gradually returning to 5 airplanes per month over time."The planemaker had only resumed deliveries in March 2021 after a five-month hiatus before halting them again.
