Boeing Dreamliner grounded by US regulator
United,
the only US carrier flying 787s, currently operates six
(BBC) The US aviation regulator has told US airlines to temporarily ground Boeing's 787 Dreamliner, following a battery fault on one of the aircraft in Japan.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said that airlines must demonstrate that batteries are safe before flights can resume.
United Airlines is currently the only US airline operating the 787.
Earlier, Japan's two main airlines grounded their 787s after the battery failure prompted an emergency landing.
All Nippon Airways (ANA) grounded its fleet of 17 Dreamliners when its flight NH 692 from Yamaguchi Ube was forced to land shortly after take-off.
