NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. - The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has added Boeing South Carolina-built 787-9 Dreamliners to the company's production certificate, PC 700. This allows Boeing to produce and deliver 787-9s from its South Carolina facility. 787-8 production was added to Boeing's PC 700 certificate in July 2012.
The certificate is issued once an airplane manufacturer has demonstrated to the FAA that its facilities and quality management system meet the agency's stringent safety and reliability requirements.
"This certification is further evidence that our 787 production system is robust and we're committed to meeting customer commitments with a focus on safety and quality," said Beverly Wyse, Boeing South Carolina vice president and general manager.
The addition of Boeing South Carolina's 787-9 production to the Boeing production certificate follows a successful FAA Manufacturing Inspection District Office audit that validated the site's compliance with the Boeing Quality Management System.
