As quoted in the market news:
The two carriers, which together own about half of the 49 Dreamliners in operation, have been forced along with other customers to juggle schedules and shift planes since the FAA sidelined the jet in January. Boeing, which has a backlog of more than 800 Dreamliners with a list price starting at about $207 million, has halted deliveries until commercial service resumes.
