Boeing 787 Dreamliner flights to resume after revamp
World
Federal officials intend to lift the order grounding the 787 Dreamliner after accepting Boeing’s revamped battery system. Battery failures had led to a fire on one plane and smoke on another.
The Federal Aviation Administration announced Friday it would send airlines instructions lifting the 3-month-old grounding order.
Dreamliner flights could resume within a week, as Boeing said it has stationed teams around the world to begin installing the fix.
The FAA gave Boeing permission last month to test the revamped system, which includes additional insulation around each of the battery’s eight cells to prevent a short circuit or fire in one of the cells from spreading to the others.
