We noted earlier this morning that the 787 may be cleared to fly again as soon as today, but how that will affect public sentiment about the safety of the plane remains to be seen.
Regarding the 747-8 aircraft, Boeing said that there have been a total of 110 orders for the planes, of which 46 have been delivered. Over the next 20 years the company expects to see demand for 740 of the planes.
Boeing will deliver the first 747-8 under the new production plan early in 2014. The company does not expect a “significant financial impact” to follow the production slow-down. The average list price for a 747-8 is $351.4 million.
Shares of Boeing are trading down about 0.5% in the premarket this morning, at $85.70 in a 52-week range of $66.82 to $89.46.
