'What credibility?' Boeing's reputation at risk from another possible 787 delay
Boeing's vaunted 787 Dreamliner model may fall even farther behind schedule, a Boeing official acknowledged Thursday. The Associated Press reports Scott Fancher, general manager of the 787 program for Boeing Commercial Airplanes, says the first delivery of the already-delayed aircraft model now may slip into early 2011. That's because of "inspections and instrument changes on the flight test aircraft," according to AP.
Still, Fancher says Boeing expects to keep its current delivery schedule, which calls for the Chicago-based company to deliver its first 787 to launch customer ANA by the end of 2010. However, Facher says that "as a cautionary note," Boeing wanted to warn of the possibility that the delivery might slide a few weeks and fall into the 2011 calendar year.
