Pressure is growing on Boeing to provide its revised production schedule for the 787, as speculation grows that the programme has suffered another lengthy delay.

Analyst Goldman Sachs has reported today that it does not expect the first 787 to be delivered before the third quarter of next year, representing another delay of at least six months.


Theres a comment elsewhere about any and all A340`s being snapped up as fast as they hit the market - boeing are close to dropping the ball on the 787 , the short ranged 787-3 is rumoured to be cancelled now - only 43 orders and delays of 2 or 3 years and the original delivery slot for the 787 was may this year - and the first aircraft (787-8) isn`t fully built yet!


A 787 programme source says the delay in development of the -3 "may be a precursor for cancellation. Regardless, we're stopping work on it."


the 787-3 was to be the replacement for the 767/757 and early airbus models , but the operators of the 767-200 are buying the bigger 787-8 and 9 instead
