Notably, there is no IGW of the 787-8, a model Boeing hasn’t wanted to build for years because of its major production differences from the -9 and -10.
There has been no discussion we’ve heard of a prospective 787-10F. The IGW will benefit the -9 if Boeing launches a 787F. The -8P will now be the same length as the -8F.īoeing also is developing Increased Gross Weight Versions of the 787-9 and 787-10. Shorter than the -9, the 777-8F was longer than the original concept for the 777-8 passenger version. This was crucial in some sales campaigns.īoeing announced the program launch of the 777X freighter, a derivative of the 777-9. The rate breaks created new production capacity that enabled Boeing to offer early delivery positions vis-à-vis Airbus for the A320 family. Boeing previously alerted the chain to be ready to return to rate 52 by 2025. Lufthansa Airlines hinted it could receive its first 787 this month, though nobody confirms this.Īlthough supply chain shortages slowed the production ramp-up of the 737 to the previously announced 31/mo-something that was supposed to be achieved in “early” 2022-this rate still is the target for later this year.
The final stages of paperwork are with the FAA for review. In addition to the hiring spree, Boeing has at least nine 787s and perhaps more in rework, addressing gaps and other issues that caused delivery to be suspended in October 2020. With this overview, let’s get into the details. But maybe at long last the C Suite and Board of Directors will recognize that shareholder value ultimately is generated from great engineering and safety. I’m not naïve into thinking that emphasis on shareholder value won’t return later this decade. Engineering and safety were once the greatest brands Boeing had, long before shareholder value became the top priority of the company. Nevertheless, it’s a step in the direction of the “old” Boeing. Obviously, this shouldn’t have been necessary, and it was mandated by the 737 MAX crisis. The development of a stronger safety culture and process is a critical step. This hiring spree includes positions specifically for new airplane design. It’s on a hiring spree to replace and add engineers, technicians and other employees who retired took early buyouts, were laid off by Boeing, and through normal attrition. LNA has been reporting progress Boeing has made in the past year toward recovery. But if one had been paying close attention, this shouldn’t have been a surprise-and China’s refusal so far to authorize its airlines to return the MAX to service is but one issue. Clearing the inventory of the 737 has been infuriatingly slow.The signs are there that Boeing at long last appears near resuming delivery of the 787, a critical step in its recovery.Despite well-deserved skepticism and concern about when, or even if, Boeing is going to launch a new airplane program, signs point to “yes.” These go beyond the usual rhetoric that often has a hollow public relations ring.There are tangible things to point to that are indicators Boeing internally is now optimistic about its long flirtation with disaster.But I’m cautiously optimistic about Boeing’s future. There’s still plenty of opportunity for missteps along the way.
