Boeing says an “unspecified delay” may push back deliveries of the new Boeing 777-8 to Qantas Airlines. The ultra-long-range aircraft was to be used on Qantas’s Project Sunrise; direct flights from Sydney to London. While Boeing acknowledges the delay, it still anticipates being able to meet Qanta’s requirements and schedule.
