Boeing will reduce production of their 787 Dreamliner plane in the coming weeks after disclosing a fuselage issue, the company said in a press release. “Across the enterprise, our teams remain focused on safety and integrity as we drive stability, first-time quality and productivity in our operations,” the statement read. The issue represents another thorn in the side of the aerospace company, which has been plagued with technical issues in their 737 Max plane.
