It is noted that before Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, heat exchangers were manufactured at a Russian plant as part of a joint venture between KhS-Nauka JSC and RTX Collins Aerospace. After the war began, production was moved to the United States and the United Kingdom.
Initially, the factories could provide spare parts for all new Boeing airliners. However, since the company decided to increase production of 787s, the parts supplier has been unable to cope with the load.
In this regard, Boeing has already warned investors that this year it will produce and deliver fewer aircraft than planned.
The production of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner is also delayed by problems with the supply of passenger seats. These, in turn, are related to a shortage of materials and a delay in certification.
