QUEEN CITY NEWS – American Airlines is cutting back some international flights after 787 production delays brought the Charleston line to a stop.
The FAA recently restricted the aircraft manufacturers’ ability to self-certify their 787 aircraft after multiple manufacturing defects were caught. Previously the aircraft maker was able to sign off on their work without oversight from the federal agency. The FAA said in a statement:
“This will allow the agency to confirm the effectiveness of measures Boeing has undertaken to improve the 787 manufacturing process.”

Los Angeles-Sydney
Seattle-London
Dallas/Fort-Worth-Santiago
