More canceled 787 orders
June 27th, 2009
Boeing’s largest airline customer for the 787 said it is canceling orders for 15 Dreamliners and deferring another 15 by four years. Qantas Group, the parent of Qantas and Jetstar, said Friday in Australia that the changes were driven by the economic climate, not this week’s announcement of a design problem that will add weeks or months to the much-delayed plane’s first flight payday loan online. Qantas has 50 remaining Dreamliners on order, comprising 35 B787-9s and 15 B787-8s. Qantas placed its original B787 order in December 2005. The financial impact of the contract changes was not disclosed. (MCT)
