Further Boeing aeroplanes delays likely to dent KQ earnings

In June last year, the manufacturer delayed the plane due to what the company said was additional stress where the wings attach to the side of the plane.

KQ is only one of the Dreamliner’s customers as other airline’s including Ethiopian Airways, British Airways, Virgin Atlantic and Emirates wait.

Boeing has orders for 847 of this plane in its book – the plane costs between $150 million and $205 million.
