SEATTLE (AP) -- Boeing Co. is halting flight tests on its new 787 jet after finding that some of the planes have improperly installed parts in the tail.
"This is not a design issue or a flight testing finding. It's a workmanship issue," said the head of the 787 program, Scott Fancher, in a news conference on Friday.
Delivery of the first 787 scheduled by the end of the year to Japan's All Nippon Airways Co. will not be impacted by the inspections and repairs.
