North Charleston campus helps Boeing boost 787 Dreamliner delivery totals
Boeing Co. delivered 38 of its 787 commercial planes to customers during the second quarter of this year, including the milestone 700th Dreamliner that was assembled at the aerospace giant’s North Charleston campus.
Orders for the twin-aisle plane also are up, to 83 during the first six months of 2018 versus 79 a year ago.
The 700th plane went to China Southern Airlines on June 26 — the fastest production pace for any wide-body program and putting Boeing on target for 1,000 deliveries by mid-2020.
