Boeing to deliver first 787 Dreamliner to China since 2021
WASHINGTON, Dec 21 (Reuters) - Boeing has scheduled a delivery of the 787 Dreamliner to China's Juneyao Airlines for Thursday, flight data shows.
The aircraft is scheduled to take off from Everett Paine Field near Seattle on 10:00 a.m. Pacific time and arrive in Shanghai, according to data on Flightradar 24.
Boeing declined to confirm the delivery plans.
"We continue to support our customers in China and will be ready to deliver for our customers when that time comes," a spokesperson said.
