EVERETT, Wash., Dec. 11, 2008 —
Boeing [NYSE: BA] today announced an updated schedule for its all-new
787 Dreamliner program that moves the commercial jet’s first flight
into the second quarter of 2009 and first delivery into the first
quarter of 2010. The new schedule reflects the impact of disruption
caused by the recent Machinists’ strike along with the requirement to
replace certain fasteners in early production airplanes.
