AIR INDIA MIGHT GET ANOTHER BOEING DREAMLINER NEXT WEEK
South Carolina,USA : Boeing Co plans to deliver the first Dreamliner 787 made in South Carolina next week, a jet equipped with an engine model that recently experienced failures and has drawn federal scrutiny.
The North Charleston-built jet, for Air India, is "ticketed" and certified by the Federal Aviation Administration, which means it is ready for delivery, a Boeing official said on Wednesday. Its General Electric Co GEnx engines also have undergone special inspection, the official said, after the failures raised concerns.
Delivery from the second Boeing plant to make Dreamliners marks an important milestone for a jet that has been beset by assembly problems that caused huge cost overruns and delays.
