WASHINGTON, July 30 — The US Federal Aviation Administration on Friday approved Boeing's inspection and modification plan to resume deliveries of 787 Dreamliners, two people briefed on the matter told Reuters.
Boeing has faced production issues with the 787 for more than two years. In September 2020, the FAA said it was"investigating manufacturing flaws" in some 787 jetliners. 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 FAA said in February it would retain the authority to issue airworthiness certificates until it is confident"Boeing’s quality control and manufacturing processes consistently produce 787s that meet FAA design standards."
