Boeing "very close" to 787 battery fix, says Qatar Airways

  • Qatar: Saturday, April 13 - 2013 at 01:18

Akbar Al Baker, the CEO of Qatar Airways has said Boeing Co is "very close" to receiving approval from regulators for a fix to its 787 Dreamliner's batteries that would let flights resume, Bloomberg has reported. Qatar's 787s should be back in service well before the May 31 target given earlier this week by United Continental Holdings Inc., Al Baker said. The airline had five Dreamliners in its fleet when the model was grounded in mid-January and is scheduled to receive the same number this year out of a total order for 30 of the jets. The Doha-based carrier is in talks with Boeing for compensation, Al Baker said.
