Boeing gets approval to resume 787 deliveries

The US Federal Aviation Administration FAA has given Boeing approval to deliver its wide-body 787 Dreamliner.

The 787 deliveries had been temporarily halted after the FAA discovered an error in the analysis of the data related to the forward pressure bulkhead, which Boeing Co discovered after reviewing its certification records.

The FAA said Boeing corrected the error.

The agency said that the FAA may issue airworthiness certificates next week.

The Boeing stock's share price went up 0.91 percent after news of the continuation of deliveries.

Boeing said in a statement that the FAA will determine when 787 ticketing and deliveries resume, and we are working with our customers on delivery timing.

The FAA had ordered Boeing to suspend deliveries of the 787 in February after a year-long pause due to production quality problems.

In May 2021, Boeing was forced to suspend deliveries because of the FAA discovered gaps around the forward pressure bulkhead, which serves as a barrier between the pressurized interior cabin and the nose of the aircraft.

Boeing voluntarily replaced components so it could resume delivery of the 787 in August 2022.
