JETSTAR faces further delays of up to three months in the delivery of its Boeing 787-8s, with completion of the first aircraft slipping eight weeks.
While the Qantas offshoot is yet to be advised of any changes in the program, sources in Seattle told The Australian that the first flight of the 787 would be at the earliest in late December or, more likely, January.
A Boeing spokeswoman reaffirmed to industry journal Flight International this week that the 787 was on track for first flight for the fourth quarter of this year. But at the recent Farnborough Air Show, 787 vice-president Pat Shanahan conceded to media that he was eating into the margin's program between the first flight and the end of the year.
