Boeing has decided to increase production of its widebody 787 Dreamliner from three to four planes per month. The company plans to ramp up production to five jets per month by the end of the year. The increase in production comes as Boeing faces growing demand for the Dreamliner.
The American manufacturer has received a massive number of orders recently from several airlines including an order of 78 units from Saudi Arabia's two national carriers. In mid-May, China Airlines exercised rights to eight additional 787s, not to mention ten units for Iraq Airways ordered earlier. Last but not least, 30 787s were ordered by Air India last December. Therefore, Boeing is having a busy order book to fulfill.
The plane is popular with airlines for its fuel efficiency and range. Boeing has also been working to address production issues that have plagued the Dreamliner program that caused the FAA to suspend deliveries of the aircraft more than one time. The company has made progress in fixing these issues, and the production increase is a sign that Boeing is confident in its ability to deliver the Dreamliner on time and on budget.
The increase in production is good news for the aerospace industry. The Dreamliner is a major source of jobs in the United States, and the production increase will help to create more jobs. The Dreamliner is also a major export for the United States. Boeing has sold more than 1,000 Dreamliners, and the production increase will help to boost U.S. exports. The increase in production is a positive development for Boeing and the aerospace industry. The Dreamliner is a popular aircraft with airlines, and the production increase will help to meet growing demand. The production increase is also good news for the U.S. economy, as it will create more jobs and boost exports.
