not sure if this will impact with airnz deliveries or not, but looks like the dreamliner got more problematic

Dreamliner wing box issues, seems that boeing are taking full responsability for the issue,

will be intresting to see how long the fix will take to implement on the built aircraft and if it will be an easy fix

sorry if this has already been discused

The 787 seems to have had a lot of problems, which is a bit of a shame. Sometimes you have to wonder if it's ever going to fly...
Pity really, but I guess nothing's truly perfect.

yup, mind you they are pioneers in some respects, a fully composite airframe in that scale would be a whole new untried kettel of fish, just goes to show how airbus had done it pretty well considering with the A380, good luck boeing i really would like to see this bird fly before i am 35.
