Jet Airways (India) Ltd. said Wednesday it doesn't expect any delay in the delivery of its 787 Dreamliner planes from Boeing Co.
Boeing has postponed the first flight of its next-generation aircraft, scheduled to occur by the end of this month, due to structural problems that could hamper maneuverability.
"Our delivery dates are far off," Wolfgang Prock-Schauer, Jet's chief executive, told Dow Jones Newswires by phone.
"Boeing might come on track with their delivery schedule. We do not foresee any delay in delivery of the planes," he said.
The latest delay is the fifth time Boeing has put off the program due to hitches in the plane's design or production.
Jet, the country's second-largest carrier by marketshare, had placed an order for 10 of the aircraft, with an option for 10 more, in December 2006. Deliveries were due to start from 2011.
