Virgin Australia Airlines has pushed back plans to receive new Boeing (BA) aircraft due to the plane manufacturer’s production problems, The Sydney Morning Herald’s Amelia McGuire reports. The airline told staff on Friday that 31 of the Max aircraft it has on order would not arrive on time, despite insisting in January that it would not be affected by the increased production timeframes imposed on Boeing after a door plug on an Alaska Airlines (ALK) 737 Max-9 fell off mid-flight.
