Boeing will soon resume deliveries of its 787 Dreamliner wide-body aircraft to airlines in the Middle East and Africa, following a pause of more than a year owing to manufacturing flaws, according to a senior Boeing executive in the region.

The US plane manufacturer restarted handovers to customers globally in August.

Boeing is scheduled to deliver a total of four or five 787 wide-bodies this year to Middle Eastern airlines, Omar Arekat, the company's vice president of commercial sales and marketing in the Middle East and Africa, told The National in an interview.
