Production of Boeing's 787 resumes

EVERETT, Wash. -- Production of Boeing's new 787 jetliner has resumed in Washington state. The company is based in downtown Chicago.

Workers on Thursday finished joining the fuselage and wings for the fifth 787, a the hot-selling but long-delayed aircraft built for fuel efficiency with carbon composite parts.

The plane, along with five other 787s, will be used for testing.

Boeing machinists went on a two-month strike in September, paralyzing the company's commercial aircraft factories. The strike ended with a new contract in early November.

In all, 30 787s are in production at this time. Boeing has orders for 895 of the planes from 58 airlines.
