Boeing says China deliveries will be delayed

Aircraft manufacturer Boeing said that the delivery of its new 787 Dreamliner to China will “probably” be delayed. With the on going strike, the company does not know when it will be able to make the deliveries.

Last quarter, Boeing’s profit decreased 38 percent. Corporate reps say that this is due to the seven-week worker strike, which took place in the Seattle facilities.

Currently, Boeing has over 900 pending deliveries and orders for the 787 Dreamliner. More than 60 of those orders belong to Chinese airlines. The deliveries to China are due third quarter of next year.

In a statement John Bruns, VP of China operations for Boeing, "Because of the strike that is ongoing at Boeing there will probably be some delay to that… But we just don’t know the impact yet."
