CHICAGO (AP) - The Boeing Co. has announced another delay
involving its 787 jetliner, pushing back its expected debut in
commercial service to the third quarter of 2009.
It's the fourth time Boeing has had to revise the schedule for
the top-selling plane, which has been plagued by supply-chain
problems.
The latest setback had been expected by analysts as well as
customers of the aircraft. It further undermines the company's
credibility after failing to deliver on its previous three
scheduled plans for the 787.
Boeing says the plane's first flight now won't take place until
the fourth quarter of this year. It says it is building extra time
into the testing schedule to reduce the risk of further delays.
