A Boeing Co. supplier said it was “surprised” by a report that the planemaker plans to take over production of the 787 Dreamliner’s tail section for future models, and that it would have to agree to any move.
Alenia Aeronautica designed and builds the 787-8’s horizontal stabilizer and so would have to approve any reallocation of work for the 787-9, the company, a unit of Italy’s Finmeccanica SpA, said today in an e-mailed statement.
