“The FAA is taking a number of corrective actions to address Boeing 787 production issues,” the FAA said in a statement. “One of the actions is retaining the authority to issue airworthiness certificates for four 787 aircraft. The FAA can retain the authority to issue airworthiness certificates for additional 787 aircraft if we see the need.”

“Separately, the FAA has retained the authority to issue airworthiness certificates for some 787 aircraft over the past few years so FAA inspectors can fulfill their inspection-currency requirements, it added.
