Boeing Co. has lost its third order for 787s, bringing the total cancellations to 33.
The 787 Dreamliner — which is starting to be dubbed the 7-late-7 by some, is now almost two years behind schedule.
Hong King real estate developer Joseph Lau canceled his order for a private version of the airplane, according to a report by Bloomberg. A Boeing spokesman declined to comment on why Lau’s Sky Peace Ltd. decided not to buy the aircraft, which was ordered in May 2007. Lau is the chairman of Chinese Estate Holdings and is Hong Kong’s fifth wealthiest man, the report said.
Dubai-based leading company LCAL dropped plans to buy 16 Dreamliners earlier this month and Russian airline S7 Group canceled an order for 15 in January. Azerbaijan Airlines dropped an order last year.
Boeing now has orders for 878 Dreamliners.
