LONDON (ShareCast) - US aircraft manufacturer Boeing (NYSE: BA - news) has ordered the inspection of its new 787 Dreamliner after finding a problem with its fuselage. According to the company, there is no "short-term safety concern" due to the problem, which was caused by an incorrect assembly in a support structure within the plane's aft fuselage. All Nippon Airways (Munich: 861920 - news) , the only airline currently operating the 787, will continue flying the aircraft. "We have this condition well-defined and we are making progress on the repair plan," said Boeing spokesperson Scott Lefeber. The problem is believed to be an assembly issue rather than one of a fundamental flaw in the design. By 4:20pm, shares of Boeing were down -1.2% to $75.40. C.P.Ol
