Boeing has suspended deliveries of the 787 Dreamliner following a new issue that was found in a part used near the front of the plane, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said on Thursday.
Boeing is “conducting additional analysis on a fuselage component,” the FAA said. “Deliveries will not resume until the FAA is satisfied that the issue has been addressed,” it added.
Boeing said the fault would lead to delivery delays but added there was no broader safety issue. “There is no immediate safety or flight concern for the in-service fleet,” the company said.
