Boeing announced on Thursday that it is conducting a thorough examination of fasteners on certain undelivered 787 Dreamliner jets after identifying installation problems. This marks the latest manufacturing challenge for the aerospace giant, which has been under increased scrutiny from regulators due to recent incidents and ongoing production hurdles.
The company assured that all 787 aircraft currently in service remain safe to fly. \"Our 787 team is checking fasteners in the side-of-body area of some undelivered 787 Dreamliner airplanes to ensure they meet our engineering specifications,\" Boeing stated.
The issue was discovered during a routine quality check, where Boeing found that some fasteners were \"torqued incorrectly.\" The company is taking proactive measures to address the problem and maintain the highest safety and quality standards for its aircraft.
