Dreamliner crisis: Boeing halts 787 jet deliveries
US safety officials earlier joined an investigation into the Dreamliner
Boeing has suspended deliveries of its new 787 Dreamliner aircraft until a battery problem is resolved.
An email from the US aerospace giant said it would continue to build the plane, but not deliver any until US safety officials gave their backing.
The Federal Aviation Administration has joined the Dreamliner investigation.
All 50 of Boeing's 787s have been suspended from flying since an All Nippon Airways flight on Wednesday made an emergency landing due to a fault.
"We will not deliver 787s until the FAA [Federal Aviation Administration] approves a means of compliance with their recent Airworthiness Directive concerning batteries and the approved approach has been implemented," said a Boeing spokesman in an email.
US Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said earlier the Dreamliner would not fly again under authorities were "1,000% sure" it is safe.
