World’s most modern aircraft delayed – again
Boeing is to delay delivery of its latest aircraft, the 787 ‘Dreamliner’, due to a further hitch in production.
Launch customer All Nippon Airways, which had been expecting delivery of the jet at the end of this year, has been told it will have to wait at least until February 2011 for the 787.
Boeing said it was waiting for a Rolls-Royce engine needed for the final phases of flight testing.
More than 50 customers around the world are waiting for the 787, including British Airways, Monarch Airlines, Thomson Airways and Virgin Atlantic.
