Continental Delays Auckland Flight on Boeing 787 Delay
This article is for subscribers only.
Continental Airlines postponed the November 2011 start of Houston-Auckland service until sometime in 2012 because of an expected additional delay in delivery of Boeing Co.’s 787.
Continental, a unit of United Continental Holdings Inc., declined to say today when it expects to receive its first 787 following Boeing’s decision to revise its production schedule after a fire on a test jet. Continental originally was to receive its first 787 Dreamliner in March 2009.
