New problem found on 787 Dreamliner
A new problem has been identified on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, this time connected to it fire extinguisher system.
Boeing has confirmed it will carry out an investigation after a wiring defect was found in a fire extinguisher system on three 787s operated by Japan’s All Nippon Airways (ANA).
Following the discovery of the fault, rival Japan Airlines turned back a 787 travelling from Tokyo to Helsinki to check its wiring.
The problem is the latest to hit the Boeing aircraft, which was grounded in January due to battery problems.
Last month a fire broke out on an Ethiopian Airlines 787 parked at Heathrow and was later found to be linked to a problem with a transmitter.
In a statement relating to the latest issues, Boeing said: "The safety of those flying on Boeing aeroplanes is our top priority. We will thoroughly examine this issue and take the appropriate steps."
