Boeing Expected to Delay Dreamliner 6 More Months

Boeing is expected to delay delivery of its 787 Dreamliner for a third time, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports, as the company continues to struggle with parts shortages, redesigns, and manufacturing partners falling behind schedule. Analysts expect at least another 6-month delay to be announced tomorrow, pushing back the new fuel-efficient airliner a total of 14 months from its original delivery date.

Boeing's stock has dropped some 30% as investors have lost confidence in the company’s ability to get the next-generation aircraft off the ground, reports MarketWatch. Experts say tomorrow’s conference call with analysts will be critical for Boeing as it tries to regain credibility. (More Aircraft manufacturers stories.)
