Another day, another Boeing airplane glitch?
Bloomberg reports that Boeing will delay deliveries of its 787 Dreamliner aircraft after uncovering flawed parts during production, a setback as the planemaker works to meet soaring demand for its long-range aircraft.
The flaw may affect about 90 already-built Dreamliners that the company has not yet delivered, Boeing said on Tuesday.
It will inspect each plane for improperly sized gap-fillers within the horizontal stabilizer, a tiny wing attached to a jet’s tail.
“We are inspecting 787s in our inventory for a nonconforming condition related to a fitting on the horizontal stabilizer,” Boeing said in a statement.
“Airplanes found to have a nonconforming condition will be reworked prior to ticket and delivery.”
BA shares were down around 4% on the news...
As a reminder, Boeing is also contending with a supplier defect affecting hundreds of its 737 Max jets, and is only just recovering from tiny structural defects that halted Dreamliner shipments during 2021 and 2022.
