Boeing Co. will suspend deliveries of its grounded 787 Dreamliner while working to meet a U.S. Federal Aviation Administration directive to ensure that the plane’s lithium-ion batteries are safe.
“Production of 787s continues,” Marc Birtel, a Boeing spokesman, said today in an interview. “We will not deliver 787s until the FAA approves a means of compliance with their recent airworthiness directive concerning batteries and the approved approach has been implemented.”
