Never really noticed - most of the publicity has been over the eventual first flight of the 787!

"It became clear that late maturity of engineering designs has caused greater than expected re-work and disruption in manufacturing"

Yes, the weather was so bad this year that maturity of engineering designs was experienced by most companies. Possibly a late frost earlier in the year......................Or more BS jargon that is used to cover design cock-ups that required redesigning Grin

Second airline bought Boeing 747-800:

Note:

So far, nobody has bought 747-800 instead of A380. Both the 747-800 customers bought A380 too, KE this year.

Boeing has now sold more VLAs than Airbus this year - Airbus a total of four (2 to Korean, 2 to Outre Mer 380), Boeing five all to KE.

The emir of Qatar is suspected as the lucky owner of the first 747 since 2005.
