Boeing plans to complete an assessment of the impact of new 787 delays on deliveries by the end of the first quarter. But the airframer does not expect to deliver the planned 109 aircraft in 2009, says Boeing Commercial Airplanes chief executive Scott Carson.

First flight has been delayed three months to the end of the second quarter because Boeing has not made sufficient progress completing work that should have been performed by its suppliers, says Pat Shanahan, vice-president and general manager of the 787 programme.
