Boeing delays 787 Dreamliner delivery 7th time
BEIJING, Jan. 19 (Xinhuanet) -- Boeing Co. on Tuesday pushed back the seventh time the deliveries of its oft-delayed 787 Dreamliner（梦幻客机） to the third quarter of 2011, according to Reuters reports.
"The revised timeline for first delivery accommodates the work we believe remains 1 to be done to complete testing and certification of the 787," said Scott Fancher, general manager of the 787 program.
The delay came after an in-flight electrical fire and subsequent emergency landing.
Boeing shares tumbled 9.3 percent in the wake of the Nov. 9 fire, but have since recovered and gone up 2.7 percent at 71.98 U.S. dollars on Tuesday on the New York Stock Exchange.
"We think investors 2 widely expected a delay of this magnitude, and given the recovery in the stock price, have become comfortable that the 787 problems are not a show stopper, and will not have a meaningful impact on the positive trajectory 3 of this aerospace 4 upcycle," said Robert Stallard, an aerospace analyst 5 at RBC Capital Markets.
Boeing currently has 847 orders for the Dreamliner, which promises a quieter and more comfortable ride for passengers.（本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑）
