“#Boeing slows 787 production rate to fix structural defect<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Boeing\u00a0said on Tuesday that it will cut its 787 production rate as it works through a new structural defect in its troubled twin-aisle airliner program in another obstacle to recovery from the coronavirus pandemic\u2019s impact.<\/p>\n

The company now forecasts delivering fewer than half of the lingering 100 or so 787s in its inventory this year \u2014 instead of the \u201cvast majority\u201d it had expected \u2014 as it continues forensic inspections and costly repairs to address quality flaws in the aircraft.<\/p>\n

Boeing did not disclose a new production rate for the 787 program, but said it would shift temporarily below the already-slow current rate of five jets per month.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo us this is more significant than the cut to the delivery forecast, as it ripples down through the supply chain,\u201d Vertical Research Partners analyst Robert Stallard said in a client note.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe supply chain cannot just be turned on and off like a switch,\u201d Stallard added.<\/p>\n

Boeing dropped nearly 7 percent in afternoon trading.<\/p>\n

For the year so far, the company has delivered 156 jets of all types, compared with 157 for all of 2020, Boeing said.<\/p>\n

The latest production-related flaw, first reported by Reuters on Monday, involved unacceptable gaps around the forward pressure bulkhead, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said.<\/p>\n

The FAA said late on Monday that Boeing, which spotted the problem, would fix it before the planes are delivered.<\/p>\n

The US planemaker\u2019s 737 MAX and 787 have been afflicted by electrical defects and other issues since late last year. Boeing halted deliveries of the jet in May, the second pause after it initially stopped handing over the jet in late 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will continue to take the necessary time to ensure Boeing airplanes meet the highest quality prior to delivery,\u201d Boeing said, adding that the new issue poses no immedia<\/a>te threat to flight safety.<\/p>\n

The FAA said it will review data to \u201cdetermine whether similar modifications should be made on 787s already in commercial service.\u201d<\/p>\n

In June, Boeing booked 146 jet orders. That net figure takes into account instances in which the buyer converted an order to another model or canceled it entirely, including 71 737 MAX jets, the company said.<\/p>\n

Its backlog increased from 4,121 to 4,166 aircraft, Boeing said.<\/p>\n

Boeing handed over 45 planes to customers in June, its highest monthly total since March 2019, when the second of two fatal 737 MAX crashes occurred.<\/p>\n

Its June delivery tally includes 10 widebody aircraft, one of which was a 787-9 for Turkish Airlines, Boeing said.<\/p>\n

It also delivered 35 737s, including 33 737 MAXs and two P-8 maritime patrol aircraft to the U.S. Navy.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
