Boeing has warned customers awaiting deliveryof new 787 Dreamliners to expect delays, amid a continuing investigation into their safety.
Deliveries of the planes in the near future have either been delayed or are at risk of postponement, boeing said.
Customers expecting delivery of 787s soon include the UK's Thompson Airways and Norwegian Air Shuttle.
Investigations are continuing into the safety of the 787s batteries.
The entire fleet of 787s was grounded last month after a battery on one plane caught fire, while a malfunction forced another to make an emergency landing.
So far 50 Dreamliners have been delivered to airlines by Boeing, but all are currently grounded while safety checks are carried out.
