Boeing halts shipments of the 787 Dreamliner for a flaw in the tail section

Boeing said Tuesday that deliveries of its 787 Dreamliner have been halted again by another manufacturing issue, the latest in a string of setbacks affecting the two-aisle jet. The company said it is inspecting fittings on part of the tail called the horizontal stabilizer for a nonconforming condition. The inspections and repairs will affect near-term deliveries but won't alter the company's forecast of deliveries for the full year. Boeing did not say how many planes are affected by the new defect. Boeing said the flaw in the tail is not a safety issue and planes already in airline fleets can keep flying. The company said it notified the Federal Aviation Administration and airlines. The 787 and the 737 Max have both been plagued by production defects that have sporadically held up deliveries and left airlines without planes that they expected to have for the peak summer season. In April, Boeing found a problem with fittings on Max jets were the fuselage meets the vertical section o

Boeing finds new production flaws with 787 that will delay deliveries

Inspections triggered by production flaws in Boeing's 787 jetliner are further slowing deliveries of the two-aisle planes, compounding Boeing's struggle to recover from the grounding of its 737 Max and the coronavirus pandemic. Boeing said Tuesday it was inspecting separate issues that have been found where rear sections of the 787 fuselage are joined together and on part of the tail called the horizontal stabilizer. The affected planes haven't been delivered to customers yet, and We expect these inspections to affect the timing of 787 deliveries in the near term, spokesman Peter Pedraza said in a statement. The Federal Aviation Administration said it is investigating the matter. It is too early to speculate about the nature or extent of any proposed Airworthiness Directives that might arise from the agency's investigation, said the spokesman, Lynn Lunsford, referring to potential safety orders that could be imposed on Boeing.
