Boeing discovers Dreamliner defect, delivery delay decided
Boeing has discovered a defect in 787 Dreamliner aircraft, delaying near-term deliveries of the passenger jets by at least a couple of weeks and leaving the aerospace titan with another setback to the series' production.
Boeing said the issue stems from a component fitted to the 787's horizontal stabilizer, the horizontal portion of the aircraft's tail. The part comes from a third-party supplier and is installed at Boeing's facility in Salt Lake City, USA. Boeing said it has notified the FAA, but that the issue doesn't pose an immediate safety concern and that 787 aircraft already in service can continue to be flown.
