Boeing sees bright future for North Charleston’s Dreamliner, other jets
Recent financial troubles for some low-cost airlines haven’t dimmed Boeing Co.’s outlook for the industry and projected sales of the 787 Dreamliner it builds in North Charleston, company executives said Wednesday.
“The airline industry is very healthy overall across all of the different types of business models, including low-cost carriers,” CEO Dennis Muilenburg told analysts during a conference call to announce the company’s third-quarter earnings.
“While we do see some variability among the broad range of airline customers that we have, I would say as a composite we’re continuing to see airline profitability trending in a good direction,” Muilenburg said.
