Boeing, Airbus see blue skies in 2010

By Money Matters Editors

Finally, some really good economic news. Airbus (EADS) and Boeing (BA) are both confirming that airlines have stopped pushing-back, or deferring deliveries of commercial airlines, Bloomberg News reported Sunday.

The significance for investors? When airlines end deferrals that means they’re confident about an upturn in air travel – something that usually heralds the start of an economic rebound.

Randy Tinseth, Boeing’s (BA) head of marketing for commercial planes, said as much.

Is Boeing's 787 Dreamliner a pipe dream?

By Money Matters Editors

Boeing (BA) announced Wednesday that it’s chosen North Charleston, S.C. for its second plant for the next-generation 787 Dreamliner, over Seattle.

What would be even better news? Boeing announcing that the much-delayed 787 is rolling off the assembly line and is being delivered to airlines, worldwide.

To say there’s a lot riding on the 787 would be the understatement of the year.
