Boeing asking for delay on sections for 2 787s

Boeing Co. has asked the companies that make the large sections of its new 787 jetliner to hold back shipping the assemblies for two of the jets for about a month.

Boeing Commercial Airplanes spokeswoman Yvonne Leach said Tuesday that 787 final assembly is continuing at its Everett plant and that the temporary delay won't affect work under way. Boeing remains on track to deliver the first 787 to a customer late this year, she said.
