Boeing Co. affirmed the schedule for the service debut of its 787-9 Dreamliner, a stretched version of the new jet, after American Airlines again said its first delivery had been delayed past 2014 by “production issues.”
The 787-9 is still due to reach its first customer in 2014, and the jet is set for its maiden flight in 2013’s second half, said Marc Birtel, a spokesman for Chicago-based Boeing.
