Airlines check their Boeing 787 fleets for wiring problem
TOKYO (AP) - All Nippon Airways
and Japan Airlines are checking their Boeing 787 fleets for wiring problems
unrelated to battery defects that plagued the aircraft earlier this year.
ANA said Wednesday the departure
of a 787 plane was delayed over problem wiring for a system to put out engine
fires.
ANA, which has 20 Boeing 787
jets, said the flight from Tokyo to Frankfurt departed after the part was
exchanged.
Spokeswoman Masumi Oguchi says
ANA found two similar problems while inspecting its other 787 Dreamliners.
Japan Airlines says a 787 headed
to Helsinki returned for inspections, and its nine other 787s are being
checked.
Dreamliner jets were grounded
worldwide in January for lithium-ion batteries that overheated or caught fire.
Flights resumed four months later after a revamped battery system was installed.
