Boeing Co. said the grounding of the 787 Dreamliner after battery faults has hampered plans to begin selling a stretched version, called the 787-10, that had originally been expected to start last year.
“Clearly having the fleet down has slowed things down a bit,” said Boeing Commercial Airplanes President Ray Conner, who didn’t specify how much the program had been affected. “We would have been in much better shape from having people cross the finish line here.”
