Boeing can resume deliveries of its 787 Dreamliners as early as next week, the Federal Aviation Administration said Friday, after a data-analysis issue halted deliveries of the wide-body jetliners.
Boeing addressed the FAAs concerns, the agency said in a statement. The FAA may resume issuing airworthiness certificates next week. Boeing earlier Friday said it completed the work needed to resume deliveries of planes to airlines and other customers.
We have completed the necessary analysis that confirms the airplane continues to meet all relevant requirements and does not require production or fleet action, a Boeing spokesperson said. The FAA will determine when 787 ticketing and deliveries resume, and we are working with our customers on delivery timing.
Boeing shares rose on the news that the issue was resolved and finished the trading session nearly 1% higher. On Feb. 23, Boeing paused deliveries of the planes, after a data-analysis error was detected related to the aircrafts forward pressure bulkhead.

I once got stuck with a middle seat towards the back on a 767, Atlanta to LAX. I literally thought I was going to die somewhere over Oklahoma. Rough sawn boards across some concrete blocks would have been more comfortable. I'm not even going there with my "row mates." The flight from hell.

(9,101 posts)do you think they had really no idea that the airlines would make the call to seat passengers 9 across? So lucky that no passengers are XL. cf the A350, the 787 is too narrow, period.

(17,781 posts)If they want to make the whole plane business class, that's also the airline's call. As long as it doesn't make the aircraft overweight, Delta and American can set up the seats however they like.

(9,101 posts)and they knew that the airlines would be seating passengers 9 across. (Admission: I've never flown in an A350; I am going by anecdotal accounts about comfort. All I know is a 787 can feel like hell on a long trip - a Nightmare Liner).

(17,781 posts)Technical difficulties on the cutting edge of aviation technology. The Dreamliner is certainly that. The cutting edge of aircraft manufacturing and aeronautical engineering. Plus...bigger windows! due to the strength of the carbon fiber fuselage.
Some light, engineering "porn."
