The Boeing Co. confirmed Friday that it won’t deliver the first 747-8 freighter to Cargolux on Monday “due to unresolved issues,” the company said.

“We continue to work with Cargolux and look forward to delivering its airplanes,” Boeing said on Twitter.

Boeing had planed to deliver the first 747-8 freighter to Cargolux on Monday and the second two days later.

According to a FlightGlobal report, the unresolved issue is a contract dispute.

Boeing is nearly two years late in delivering the first freighter.
