The US aircraft manufacturer Boeing says it is about to resume deliveries of the 787 “Dreamliner”.

The handover of the aircraft was stopped due to production errors. The final decision for the delivery of the 787 lies with the responsible authorities, as the ORF reports. The manager responsible for sales, Ihssane Mounir, affirmed at the air show in Dubai that the already delayed delivery of the 777X 2023 passenger jet was adhering to. In addition, they are in advanced sales talks about the cargo version of the 777X.

The “Dreamliner”, launched ten years ago as the long-haul jet of the future, has been causing problems for Boeing for a long time. This year the group had to stop deliveries due to production problems and cut production. In July it was said that further inspections and repairs were necessary on a number of 787 planes that have not yet been handed over to customers. In February, the US aviation authority, the FAA, ordered inspections of around 222 “Dreamliners” because there was a risk of damage to decompression panels used to separate the passenger area. According to the authority, the defect could have fatal consequences, for example if air freight catches fire.

Boeing then expected to resume deliveries in November at the earliest. In view of the "Dreamliner" problems - and the two crashes in the 737 Max model - the aircraft manufacturer is increasingly being scrutinized by the FAA. One of the production problems is that airlines sometimes find waste in freshly delivered aircraft.
