Boeing alters 787-3 plans
Boeing Co. said it's reviewing plans to build a shorter-range version of its 787 Dreamliner jet after All Nippon Airways Co., the only remaining customer for the model, changed its order for another variant.
"The market viability of the 787-3 is currently being assessed," Boeing spokesman Marc Birtel said in an e-mail. "As a result of ANA's order conversion from the 787-3 to the 787-8, there are no longer any 787-3s in the backlog."
All Nippon said Friday it is replacing an order for 28 of the 787-3 short-range jets with the longer-range 787-8 model.
