Boeing struggles to find buyers for early version Dreamliners

  • Even as Boeing (NYSE:BA) tallies record orders for its commercial jets, it is struggling for find buyers for ~10 of its new 787 Dreamliners; two customers this month canceled orders for nine of the planes, and finding new buyers could be increasingly tough without steep discounts, analysts say.
  • The jets come from a batch of early 787s built in 2009-10, and they have design shortcomings that make them less efficient than more recently constructed units of the advanced Dreamliner.
  • The remaining jets could still find buyers at the right price, but their performance limitations and potentially low resale value could prove a deterrence; a possible destination is with business jet operators or governments, which tend to be less sensitive to performance issues.
