Boeing announced that it will update its investors as to the progress of its 787 Dreamliner on Wednesday. While no official word has been released yet, most anticipate that Boeing will announce further delays for the airplane that some have said “will revolutionize commercial air travel.”

As reported by Reuters, most insiders are predicting another six-to-nine month delay. This would mark the third major schedule change for the Dreamliner’s release…

They already have one new gate ready to go for this Godzilla of a plane (and it’ll also be able to handle Boeing’s Dreamliner); a second gate will be completed by the end of the year.

These are big, BIG gates.

So which airline will be arriving at LAX in this giant plane? Keep reading…

More Delays for Boeing Dreamliner

It looks as though the roll-out of the Dreamliner has hit another snag, and Boeing is seeing a direct affect on its financial standing.

It’s now believed that the Dreamliner, the plane that many have said could revolutionize commercial air travel, will be pushed back another three months, which means the Dreamliner will be 10 months behind schedule. As reported by BBC News, the coming announcement of further delays caused Boeing shares to drop close to 5% on Tuesday.

The Airbus A380 experienced similar delays and setbacks, and in the eyes of many, the super-jumbo is now underselling. It will be interesting to see if the Dreamliner can bounce back, or if it will experience similar problems to the A380 once it finally makes its maiden voyage.
