Boeing has delivered the first 787 Dreamliner built at its North
Charleston, S.C., facility to Air India. This is AI’s third 787 (ATW Daily News, Sept. 6).
"Within just three years of breaking ground, we have flown and delivered our first airplane built at Boeing South Carolina," Boeing South Carolina VP and GM Jack Jones said.
Work on the final assembly facility began in November 2009. Production of the first South Carolina-built 787 began in mid-2011 and the completed airplane rolled out of the factory in April (ATW Daily News, April 30).
AI board member K.M. Unni said the new 787 “will help in our airline's turnaround plan.”
Boeing said today's delivery marks the 28th 787 delivered to date. “Boeing South Carolina will increase final assembly production to three 787s per month by the end of 2013,” it said.
