WASHINGTON: The Federal Aviation Administration said late on Monday that some undelivered Boeing 787 Dreamliners have a new manufacturing quality issue that the largest US planemaker will fix before the planes will be delivered.

The air regulators added after a review of data it “will determine whether similar modifications should be made on 787s already in commercial service”. The FAA in May had issued two airworthiness directives to address production issues for in-service aeroplanes. In September, Boeing said some 787 aeroplanes had shims that were not the proper size, and some aeroplanes had areas that did not meet skin-flatness specifications.

Calhoun said he hoped the FAA’s review of Boeing’s approach was “measured in months and not longer than the calendar year”.
