Boeing delays B747-8, again; Airbus closer to A320 NEO decision – Suppliers Share Wrap

Boeing has bowed to the inevitable and delayed the delivery of the first B747-8 Freighter from the beginning of 2011 to mid-year. The announcement does not come as a surprise. Earlier in the year, Boeing alluded to the fact that problems in flight testing with the aircraft could push deliveries beyond the established schedule. The move had little impact on Boeing's share price, which rose 0.9% yesterday.
