Boeing plans for more 787s

Boeing's commercial airplanes division could eventually increase the production rate of its new 787 jetliner beyond the previously announced 10 per month it plans to build by the end of 2013.

President Jim Albaugh said Boeing would have the capacity to assemble 15 planes a month once all 787 production lines at Everett, Washington, and in South Carolina are operating.

While producing 15 a month would require additional investments in the 787's supply chain, there was demand for more than 10 jets a month, he said.
