Boeing Finishes Last Of 122 787 Dreamliners In Need Of Structural Repairs
Mechanics at Boeing have completed reworks on the last of 122 Boeing 787 Dreamliners following the discovery of small gaps in the joins between fuselage sections on aircraft. As highlighted by the Seattle Times, the aircraft had to be stored long-term until the issues could be addressed.

I noticed last year that United seems to have swapped out some 787 services and substituted 777-300s on LH transpacific routes. Was wondering if theyโd run out of 787s. It was a bit disappointing, as I find the Dreamliners more comfortable overall
Nope from over here. Laurie. NZ๐
Did not know
Boeing sure saved a lot of money by moving the 787 to a non union plant.
At least it wasn't a serious safety issue. I flew to Canada a few times in 2017 on a ba and an air Canada 787/9
Meanwhile the board members who made these horrendous decisions are sitting on a beach in the Carribbean with massive bonuses and not giving two sh!ts about it
It's very shocking to note that such serious quality issues are identified in Boeing aircrafts, even when the memories of the 737 Max are still afresh… But on a positive note, it's good that these were identified before the aircrafts were put into service, so Boeing management
– guys you need to be on your toes else you guys will be history soon…
You said that the gaps were fixed by disassembling and reassembling each and every 787 affected by the spacing issue.
This is a vague statement.
Thank you whistleblower
No
Boeing is as useless as their employees. I live by the everett plant… just a bunch of no dad having drunks.
Appears Boeing did not relocate all of the talent and 787 infrastructure to the East Coast.

Im not a whistleblower, please dont make me alt f4 myself.
Koreans do not know how to fly a Boeing plane over a concrete barrier at the end of all their runways.
Mom, can I have 787F?
Mom: We have 787F at home

Gaps in the joints between the sections of the fuselage of the aircrafts!!!!!!!
Another unbelievable disastrous mistake from Boeing
Kudos to the workers that took their time a fixed the issues properly…let's get the 777x certified
But just think of how much money the shareholders made 10 years ago when these cost cuttings were made
If itโs Boeing. Iโm not going.

Oh, so they fixed the problem THEY created by horrible quality control.
Is there any way to verify that all the necessary bolts, gaskets, sensors, etc., were both paid-for AND installed?
You know that whole Boeing Roulette thing.
Boeing seems to be a sick company. ๐ข
Another American company that puts profits over safety.

Did NOT know about this situation. Thanks for this video explaining it. ๐ฎ
Smart to buy A350s' instead of B787s'. However, have flown on B787 numerous times and love them.
If Boeing were to make a $20 million margin on each future 787 they deliver, that $6.3 billion is going to take 315 deliveries to make up. Not that BA is making $20mil per delivery. It hasn't had a quarter since 2018 where the unit cost at BCA is out of the red. The whole 787 program, like the 777X program, has been a huge waste of money.
It seems that it is costing Boeing more in fines than if they had left things alone, instead of complaining about the FAA inspectors not having any or enough experience to properly Inspect. Boeing could have avoided these disasters by leaving "well enough" alone. Boeing is too full of self confidence, and are quick to blame others. Arrogance!
Boy the bots are up early this morning ๐
Is it really a 6 billion loss or is it just part of the cost of production? The planes are perfectly fine in storage as well as they are stored in a prescribed manner and are tended to.
There SHOULD be a lot of Boeing 787โs delivered to airlines soon.
Be nice if the FAA would approve the Allegris seats on Lufthansa's 787's.
15 alone awaiting for approval.
They may fly them without business class like they did on some of their A350's.
It seems a remarkable coincidence that the 122 787s with "a paper thin gap", were all on the Boeing production line when the fault was spotted. I can hardly believe that no faulty aircraft were delivered to airlines and are actually flying above our heads now……….
Oh boy, here we go again
will the 737 SP ever fly ?
Better late than never
Okay. Can we safely say that no more quality issues from the SC assembly?
This was news ๐ฐ to me
Seems like Boeing has lost its way.
Didnโt the FAA just require inspection of 787 Bulkheads?
