SOUTH CAROLINA- <\/strong>In a recent statement, US Planmaker Boeing<\/a> issued a warning regarding a new defect discovered on its 787 Dreamliner planes. As a result, the delivery of these wide-body aircraft will be delayed. Further, adding to the manufacturer’s ongoing production challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boeing stated, “We are currently conducting inspections on our inventory of 787s to identify a nonconforming condition related to a fitting on the horizontal stabilizer. Any airplanes found with this nonconforming condition will undergo necessary rework before being cleared for ticketing and delivery.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boeing 787 New Defect<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Boeing has identified an issue with the horizontal stabilizer of its 787 Dreamliner aircraft, specifically concerning tiny spacing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the company assured that this issue does not pose a risk to flight safety, and in-service planes can continue to operate without interruption. Nevertheless, the detection of this issue will delay approximately two weeks of near-term deliveries, according to Boeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This problem adds to a series of manufacturing challenges that have affected Boeing’s planes, causing delays or temporary halts in deliveries. These delays come at a time when airlines are eager to acquire new aircraft to meet the rising demand for travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this year, Boeing temporarily suspended deliveries due to a problem related to a fuselage component on specific 787s. However, the recent issue is not expected to impact Boeing’s full-year projections for Dreamliner deliveries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company maintains its estimate of delivering between 70 and 80 of these planes throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the announcement, there was a significant decline in Boeing’s stock price. However, the shares have since experienced a partial recovery, and as of the afternoon trading session, they were down by less than 1%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boeing halts<\/strong> 737 MAX deliveries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The issue is likely to have a significant impact and decrease 737 MAX deliveries in the near term. Following the announcement, shares of Boeing fell 5.3%, while Spirit AeroSystems\u2019 shares fell 11.8% in after-hours trading, reported Reuters<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boeing clarified that this problem affects a portion of the 737 MAX family<\/a> of airplanes. This includes MAX 7, MAX 8, and MAX 8200 airplanes. Also the P-8 Poseidon maritime surveillance aircraft based on the 737 NG. However, it is not a safety of flight concern, and the in-service planes can continue to operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to reports, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)<\/a> has validated Boeing\u2019s assessment that there are no immediate safety concerns with the affected aircraft. The FAA has said it will evaluate all the affected planes before delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
