ANA counts the cost of grounded 787s, is not yet seeking damagesReuters TOKYO -- All Nippon Airways (ANA) Co., the launch airline for Boeing Co.'s 787 Dreamliner jet that has been grounded with undiagnosed battery problems, said it lost more than US$15 million in revenue from having to cancel flights this month.
February 1, 2013, 3:07 pm TWN Asia's top airline by revenue said it was unclear as to when Boeing's sophisticated new plane would resume commercial flights, making it harder to predict the longer-term financial impact of having the plane idle. ANA, valued at close to US$7 billion, said it had not yet decided whether to claim compensation from Boeing, and it had no plans, for now, to change a growth strategy that has the technologically advanced 787 at its core. But it conceded that a prolonged grounding of the plane would impact that strategy. |
