The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner comes closer to entering airline operation as it has gained certification by the FAA and EASA for commercial service.
Boeing is now in the final stages of preparing for the first 787-9 delivery to launch customer Air New Zealand. It looks like Wichita has taken another hit. Bombardier has laid off or reassigned workers in Wichita and Mexico as the Learjet 85 program continues to experience delays in its flight testing program. The company said through a spokesperson that part of the problem was that the company had started from scratch to design the airplane.
