Boeing Halts Dreamliner Deliveries After Issues Raised for an Aircraft Part

Boeing halted deliveries of its Dreamliners once again after a recent supplier report bringing to light issues with the forward pressure bulkhead, a part near the front of the plane. As per the aircraft manufacturer, it is not an urgent safety concern. They are working with Federal Aviation Association (FAA) to understand the fixes needed for delivered planes. 

The airline company is conducting further tests on a fuselage component to ensure the complete safety of the two-aisled plane model. Deliveries will resume once FAA gives the nod.

The Dreamliner deliveries halted for over a year till August 2022, after some production flaws were found, including the fit of panels on the carbon-composite skin.
