WASHINGTON: The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has approved Boeing’s inspection and modification plan to resume deliveries of 787 Dreamliners, according to sources.

The FAA approved Boeing’s proposal that requires specific inspections to verify the condition of the airplane meets requirements and that all work has been completed, a move that should allow Boeing to resume deliveries in August after it halted them in May 2021, the sources said.
