Re: Boeing 787 Production / Deliveries - 2024

It seems that Boeing has been moving all frames that will remain in storage for another while to SKF. They have been slowly doing this over the past six months or so. You'd think VCV has plenty of space, and Kelly is an AFB and fairly tight fit. Maybe they just need to be flown every few years and ...

Re: 787 JA804A incident at Tokyo

Wouldn't an airline the size of ANA have a spare Nose cone to hand to install incase of a bird strike, plus its a little strange she's been AOG since the 15th, I would have thought they would have had it back in the air by now unless its suffered a heavy bird strike like an eagle or something of tha...

Re: 787 JA804A incident at Tokyo

Dont know but looks more than a simple bird strike doesnt it.

as I said I have some but not allowed to put them on as they are on my own website that cannot be used as per the forum admins

Looks to be very heavy damage even for birds! I would link to the photo but I'm not allowed!

787 JA804A incident at Tokyo

Hello all,
I have received some interesting photos of ANAs JA804A from around the 15th Jan with a seriously squashed nose. She hasnt flown since.
Does anyone have any further info into this incident?

Re: Boeing 787 Production / Deliveries - 2024

I think the IGW is only applicable for the 9+10's. Will this make the 8 series more unattractive to buyers.

Re: Boeing 787 Production / Deliveries - 2024

In addition to the rework frames we also have an unusual number of 2023-build frames that have been delayed by seat supply issues and should clear early in 2024. 90 seems to me like a conservative target. If Boeing could achieve three figures it would be very good for the cash flow statement. Which...

Reworks happen often, but rarely are they on the scale of LN1127, so the public doesn't hear about it.

Reworks will happen for as long as humans build planes.

Re: Boeing 787 Production/Deliveries - 2023

Any ideas on which frame the wing set was for and why?

Re: Boeing 787 Production/Deliveries - 2023

Any word on the wing swap as to the reason why?

Re: Boeing 787 Movements / Write-Off / Retirements / Scrapping - 2023

Ahh okay that makes some sense!

Re: Boeing 787 Movements / Write-Off / Retirements / Scrapping - 2023

I Can't see why they would remove the tail when the damage was at the front unless the airframe has tail issues as well

Re: Boeing 787 Movements / Write-Off / Retirements / Scrapping - 2023

Most site have her as written off due to the location of the hit which i read was the avionics bay which means a full re-wire, taking that with a grain of salt though, still awaiting feedback from Latam

Being repaired. Definitely

Re: Now 787s are being parted out...

It could be the structure is being used as a cover for the electronics bay etc
I have reached out to Latam to see if they can confirm or deny the fate. Latam are usually quite good at comms.

Re: Now 787s are being parted out...

Aviation safety is reporting this is written off damaged beyond repair

Will Lufthansa receive any of the ex-Norwegian/Air Europa frames since sources now seem to indicate that they are no longer interested in taking any of the frames?

Re: Boeing 787 Production/Deliveries - 2023

Are there any NTU's that Indigo could pick up? As it would be their first 787's the original seat package could be reused. It really depends on the model IndiGo is planning to acquire. Most likely, a 787-9 with GE engines which LN1128 is a great candidate for (since per previous discussions, it is ...

Re: Boeing 787 Production/Deliveries - 2023

Plenty, G-TUIP is a NTU as is Ln688 so thats two 787s ready (ish)

Re: Now 787s are being parted out...

More cause for concern. An outfit called McLarens has acquired 3 ex Norwegian 787-8’s which are currently stored in PIK and OSL and Arlanda. I am fearful that they are destined for the same fate as the two 787-8’s being broken up at PIK. What a waste of still serviceable assets. I thought UMB Bank ...

G-CKOF - 787 - Lots of 7700 when on ground

Regarding G-CKOF Boeing 787 I have noticed a lot of 7700 coming through from this aircraft since she was struck by lightening earlier this month - 2023-07-08 Lightening Strike caused the Airraft to hold for 2h 30m to burn-off and dump fuel before returning to London Gatwick. Aircraft Grounded for re...

Re: B787 breaking or scrapping thread

So who owns ln 17 and 19

Re: B787 breaking or scrapping thread

I think it was more of a case of them being stored by the sea and it would have cost far too much to get them ready for flight.
Raises a glass to the three dead 787s

Re: B787 breaking or scrapping thread

So they're defo gone!?
Would have loved to have seen some pictures

Re: Boeing 787 Production/Deliveries - 2023

I didn't think so, any ideas whom?

B787 breaking or scrapping thread

As most of us know line number 5 has long been scrapped.

The latest news that I have is that Purple Orchid have to ex Norwegian birds for scrap, those bring VP-CVL and VP-CVM

I haven't heard anything about progress with the scrappings have these been broken up yet or still stored?

I can see Lufthansa taking this one as they have with so many others recently to supply to Austrian Airlines with the required 787's

Re: Boeing 787 Production/Deliveries - 2023

from a quick look Austrian are getting the following
OLD build (aka delivered and in use)
LN887
LN893
LN898
LN905
LN913
all will be Ex LH

They have five new build lists but no details next to them.

Noteworthy mention, the European Air Fleets site now no longer mentions the ntu Norwegian and Air Europa 787 frames on their website but instead the new deliveries' LN's. https://sites.google.com/view/europeanairlinefleets/dlh/lhdlh Curious. Seven (more) ntus are certainly coming. Engines still not...
