What's Going On With The Dreamliner?



Boeing's new 787 Dreamliner passenger jet has not had a very good week.

First, a Japan Airlines plane had a small fire (fortunately, nobody was on board) and then fuel leaks have been reported on other Japan Airlines Dreamliner jets.

Now, Japan Today is reporting a new problem:


TOKYO —A Boeing 787 Dreamliner operated by All Nippon Airways made an emergency landing in Takamatsu, Kagawa Prefecture, on Wednesday, the airline said, with media reports saying smoke had been seen inside the aircraft.

With all of these incidents involving this new aircraft, aviation authorities are starting to get concerned enough to call for investigations.

TOKYO —Japan’s two biggest airlines on Wednesday grounded all their Dreamliners in the most serious blow yet to Boeing’s troubled next-generation model after an ANA flight was forced into an emergency landing.

The two biggest Japanese airlines are All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines.
