Boeing has changed its strategy to continue with tenuous C-17 airlifter production from building fewer airframes annually to reducing costs, thanks in part to an opportunity to gain business from unhappy customers facing delayed deliveries of the A400M built by EADS. International customers now pay about $220 million for the four-engine airlifter, while the U.S. price is about $200 million.
Airworthiness authorities will sign off on final software changes late this week allowing operators to begin flying Aviation Partners Boeing (APB) blended winglets in commercial service on the Boeing 767-300ER.
