More talk of second Boeing 787 line going elsewhere …


Posted at 9:59 am by Michelle Dunlop

This morning,Flight Blogger has a report out that Boeing plans to buy out Vought and potentially set up a second 787 production line there.

Boeing spokeswoman Yvonne Leach said the company doesn’t comment about rumored acquisitions.

“We’ve made no decision about a second 787 line,” she said.

Speculation has been rampant about when and where Boeing would announce a second final assembly line for its delayed Dreamliner.

Last week, Aviation Week also indicated that South Carolina is Boeing's choice for the second Dreamliner assembly line.

in fact, South Carolina has been near the top of the list since Boeing bought out Vought’s share of Global Aeronautica in early 2008.

Washington lawmakers even had South Carolina on their list of top competitors for aerospace business when they looked into the matter during the 2009 legislative session. Also on the short list: Texas and Alabama.

Despite last week’s delay on the 787, Leach said the company is continuing testing on test planes. And the company continues production work on Dreamliners in progress at the Everett factory.
