(Reuters) - U.S. plane maker Boeing Co said deliveries of its 787 Dreamliner aircraft would resume later this year in the second half.
The manufacturer communicated the airlines that operate the model and also the suppliers. The resumption of 787 deliveries s the growth in the number of deliveries by Boeing for the 737 MAX cooperating for the post-pandemic recovery.
Boeing plans to increase production of the 787 even to compensate for the time without making deliveries due to problems in the manufacture of the plane. The manufacturer has more than 100 Boeing 787s in the process of being overhauled and repaired at the factory.
With deliveries suspended since October 2021, Boeing has been experiencing issues with manufacturing parts for the 787 that did not meet quality standards, something the company cited as a third-party supplier issue.
As a result, the manufacturer had to compensate customers such as American Airlines, United and delay deliveries to Emirates, which will have the model for the first time in its fleet.
FAA prevents Boeing from self-certifying the 787
The Federal Aviation istration of the United States (FAA) announced in February that it will carry out final inspections on the 787 Dreamliner after the discovery of cracks in produced fuselages, preventing Boeing from carrying out certification by its own means.
The FAA said it has already notified Boeing of the decision that it will retain authority to issue certificates of airworthiness until the regulator is confident that Boeing's quality and manufacturing processes on the 787 meet FAA design standards.
On the other hand, the company announced that it will continue "in a transparent work through detailed and rigorous processes of the FAA".
