Federal air-safety regulators plan to inspect and sign off on individual 787 Dreamliner jets, versus allowing manufacturer Boeing Co. to perform those routine tasks, another hurdle in the plane maker’s bid to resume deliveries of the wide-body jets.
Dreamliner deliveries have largely been halted since October 2020 as Boeing and the Federal Aviation Administration address various manufacturing defects on the aircraft. The plane maker had 110 undelivered jets worth more than $25 billion in inventory at the end of last year.
