The aerospace company is inspecting the 40 planes. It will take a week to address the issue and the company spokesperson said that the company is confident that the problem does not exist for any planes currently in service. Test flights are being conducted on the planes in question. The manufacturing process may be responsible for the cracks, Boeing (BA, Fortune 500). The date of delivery is likely to get delayed. Also the added cost on repair and possible minor increase in the weight of the plane will naturally put Boeing at a greater disadvantage, felt industry experts. Boeing, based in Chicago, said it immediately notified customers of potential delays. It said none of the jets affected by the problem have been delivered. Boeing shares fell 54 cents, or 0.4 percent, to $128.00 in after-hours trading.

The aerospace company is inspecting the 40 planes. It will take a week to address the issue and the company spokesperson said that the company is confident that the problem does not exist for any planes currently in service. Test flights are being conducted on the planes in question. The manufacturing process may be responsible for the cracks, Boeing (BA, Fortune 500). The date of delivery is likely to get delayed. Also the added cost on repair and possible minor increase in the weight of the plane will naturally put Boeing at a greater disadvantage, felt industry experts. Boeing, based in Chicago, said it immediately notified customers of potential delays. It said none of the jets affected by the problem have been delivered. Boeing shares fell 54 cents, or 0.4 percent, to $128.00 in after-hours trading.

The aerospace company is inspecting the 40 planes. It will take a week to address the issue and the company spokesperson said that the company is confident that the problem does not exist for any planes currently in service. Test flights are being conducted on the planes in question. The manufacturing process may be responsible for the cracks, Boeing (BA, Fortune 500). The date of delivery is likely to get delayed. Also the added cost on repair and possible minor increase in the weight of the plane will naturally put Boeing at a greater disadvantage, felt industry experts. Boeing, based in Chicago, said it immediately notified customers of potential delays. It said none of the jets affected by the problem have been delivered.

In his speech, Klaus Laepple, president of DZT, struck a political note: “Germany’s tourism industry can only flourish if Germany’s neighbours are economically stable. If your heart beats for tourism then I urge you to vote in the European elections.” Speaking on Wednesday at ITB Berlin, Petra Hedorfer, head of the board of DZT, noted that the UK, Russia and Switzerland had recorded the highest growth rates.

The aerospace company is inspecting the 40 planes. It will take a week to address the issue and the company spokesperson said that the company is confident that the problem does not exist for any planes currently in service. Test flights are being conducted on the planes in question. The manufacturing process may be responsible for the cracks, Boeing (BA, Fortune 500). The date of delivery is likely to get delayed. Also the added cost on repair and possible minor increase in the weight of the plane will naturally put Boeing at a greater disadvantage, felt industry experts. Boeing, based in Chicago, said it immediately notified customers of potential delays. It said none of the jets affected by the problem have been delivered. Boeing shares fell 54 cents, or 0.4 percent, to $128.00 in after-hours trading.
