Two more 787 Dreamliners suffer technical problems in Japan: ANAAFP TOKYO -- Two more problems hit 787 Dreamliners in Japan on Friday, including a crack in a cockpit windshield that grounded one flight, the latest setbacks for Boeing's flagship aircraft.
January 12, 2013, 12:00 am TWN The crack was discovered after a flight from Tokyo's Haneda airport to Matsuyama in the country's southwest and comes at the end of a week in which three other planes suffered problems, including a fire and a fuel leak. Operator All Nippon Airways said the crack, in the window on the pilot's side of the cockpit, caused no problems for the 237 passengers and nine crew on board, but added that the return flight had been cancelled. ANA said another Dreamliner flight, shuttling between Haneda and southern Miyazaki prefecture, experienced a delay due to an oil leak from a generator, rigged inside an engine. |
