BOEING's 787 Dreamliner suffered a blow as US regulators declared they would retain authority for inspecting the jets before delivery, reports Bloomberg News.
The Federal Aviation Administration (F) declared that it is taking the action to 'allow the agency to confirm the effectiveness of measures boeing has undertaken to improve the 787 manufacturing process.'
The company's jet has been plagued by problems after several flaws were discovered.
The action is the latest indication of tensions between the aircraft manufacturer and its regulator.
The two battled over how to redesign the 737 Max following two fatal crashes and the F has issued several civil fines against the company.
Boeing revealed with its earnings last month that it faces US$5.5 billion in total costs to inspect and repair Dreamliners and compensate customers for lost flying.
