Boeing suppliers Rockwell Collins and GKN have declared Boeing to be delinquent in payments for components delivered for the 787 Dreamliner and 737 MAX aircraft. The two suppliers are currently in talks with Boeing regarding changes that Boeing has made to how it pays suppliers, that have resulted in over $30 million in late payments made to Rockwell and over $50 million in payments to GKN that are still owed from the last quarter.

Boeing has announced that it will take a $2.78 billion pre-tax charge on the 787, 747-8 and KC-46 programs, writing off development cost overruns on each. The majority of the charges were recorded against the 787 program, which was four years late to first flight and customer delivery. The charges include two flight test aircraft which the manufacturer has declared cannot be resold to a customer.
