American aircraft manufacturer Boeing has received permission from the FAA to restart deliveries of its 787 Dreamliner aircraft model, reports Bloomberg.

The FAA is now said to have approved Boeings plans to repair and inspect minor manufacturing defects in the Dreamliner's carbon composite frame, people with knowledge of the matter tell Bloomberg. 

During the end of In 2020, the aircraft manufacturer suspended deliveries after its engineers discovered incorrectly filled gaps in about 20 locations. 

The announcement comes as a relief for the company, as the drought has cost the company large sums of money as well as damaged the aircraft manufacturer's reputation for quality. 

However, Boeing will not immediately resume deliveries, they still have to make some required corrections as well as FAA inspectors having to approve each aircraft.

Bloomberg also notes that the resumption of transportation will mark an economic turnaround for Boeing, as the shutdown has led to frustrated customers, suppliers and investors.

In addition, this could also be a potential catalyst for Boeing stock, Bloomberg reports. 

”"We will continue to work openly with the FAA and our customers towards resuming 787 deliveries," Boeing said in a statement.
