Boeing will need to inspect all 90 Dreamliners in its inventory before they can be delivered, and it expects it will take two weeks to fix each aircraft, the company added. The issue does not immediately affect in-service 787s, Boeing said, but the company could not say how far back the issue stretches or whether Dreamliners currently operated by airlines will need a fix.last week that it had increased 787 production from three to four jets a month, said 787 production has not stopped as a result of the issue.
While the rework "will affect timing of near-term 787 deliveries," the company believes it can still deliver 70-80 Dreamliners this year, Boeing said.
