Boeing has completed the bulk of a major re-organization of its Everett, Wash., 787 assembly lines, which together with ongoing modifications to the company’s production site in Charleston, S.C., have helped it achieve its targeted production rate of 10 787s per month earlier than scheduled. Although Boeing provisionally anticipated hitting the higher rate by year-end, the first aircraft to be produced at the 10/month rate is Line Number 152, an aircraft for Japan Airlines, which was loaded onto the surge line in Everett on Nov. 14.
Engine makers were among the big winners on the opening day of the Dubai Air Show, collectively bagging orders for more than 1,000 engines as part of the airline order bonanza announced by Airbus and Boeing Nov. 17.
Boeing says the Nov. 13 decision by the International Association of Machinists & Aerospace Workers (IAM) to reject a long-term contract extension deal gives it “no choice” but to look at alternate sites away from the Seattle area to assemble the 777X and its composite wing.
