FAA grounded Boeing 787 Dreamliners after two Japanese operated ANA and Japan airline caught fires. Both fires happenned this January 2013. The fire was traced to the auxillary battery pack. The Dreamliner launch was delayed for 3 years. The first Dreamliner flew in September of last year. United Airlines operate 6 Dreamliner in the.US.
Other earlier mishaps involve oil and fuel leaks, false readings from electrical panels and cracked windshield (the plane seem to be plagued by a lot problems. There was an earlier reported on board fire in November last year.)
The plane operators must demonstrate to FAA the airwothiness of the 787. Boeing issued the statement that it is working around the clock with the airlines to address the Dreamliner problem.
How would this problem affect Boeing airplane sale (It is behind Airbus now?)
How would this affect the UAL, JAL and ANA business?
Will you still fly if you know you are boarding a Dreamliner?
