FAA okays resumption of B787 deliveries

The FAA approved Boeing's B787 production changes, allowing deliveries to resume. The regulator will inspect each aircraft before issuance of airworthiness certificates. American Airlines received the first post-recertification B787, with 42 more on order. Boeing halted deliveries in late 2020 due to fuselage issues, with the suspension lasting nearly 1.5 years.
