Leonardo SpA said Thursday that a Boeing Co. subsupplier is no
longer its supplier, addressing press reports on issues concerning
components for Boeing's 787 Dreamliner.
The Italian aerospace-and-defense company said that
Manufacturing Processes Specification Srl, one of the subsuppliers
qualified by Boeing, is under scrutiny by prosecutors.
"Leonardo is injured party and will not bear any potential costs
associated with this issue," Leonardo said.
Manufacturing Processes Specification couldn't be immediately
reached for comment.
The announcement comes after The Wall Street Journal reported
that Boeing is dealing with a new defect on its 787 Dreamliner, the
latest in a series of production slip-ups that have delayed
aircraft deliveries and drawn increased U.S. government
scrutiny.
The new problem involves certain titanium parts that are weaker
than they should be on 787s built over the past three years.
Leonardo shares closed 7% lower at EUR6.67.
