Boeing resumes deliveries of 787 Dreamliner as order book swells – Reuters.com

WASHINGTON, March 16 (Reuters) - Boeing (BA.N) confirmed on Thursday it delivered a 787 Dreamliner to German airline Lufthansa (LHAG.DE), its first since deliveries were halted in late February after it disclosed a data issue with a component.

The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed last month that Boeing had paused deliveries due to the data analysis error related to the jet’s forward pressure bulkhead, which the company found after reviewing certification records.

The FAA said Friday it was satisfied the issue has been resolved and approved Boeing to resume delivering 787s. Boeing is expected to deliver another 787 to American Airlines (AAL.O) shortly, sources said.
