Boeing says to reassess 787 Japan delivery schedule

TOKYO, Sept 30 (Reuters) - Boeing Co (BA.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) said on Tuesday it would reassess the delivery schedule for its new 787 Dreamliner aircraft to the Japanese market when a strike ends.
Six of the first 25 787s are for Japanese customers, including the first production unit (ZA007/JA801A) and Dreamliner One (ZA001), both for All Nippon Airways.

Both airlines are also the launch customers for the shorter-range 787-3 aircraft which is set to be the second Dreamliner variant after the 787-9 scheduled for introduction in 2012. The report does not indicate if there is a solidification or reassessment of the 787-3 planning, which currently has no public timeline.

This comes on the heels of last week's announcement that a similar reassessment was coming for QANTAS and its 787s.
