Boeing halts Dreamliner deliveries
- USA: Sunday, January 20 - 2013 at 04:16
Boeing has announced it was stopping deliveries of the 787 Dreamliner until the aircraft's battery concerns are resolved, Reuters has reported. Boeing said it would continue building the carbon-composite 787, but deliveries were on hold until the US Federal Aviation Administration approved and implemented a plan to ensure the safety of potentially flammable lithium-ion batteries that prompted a widespread grounding of the new airplane this week. US transportation secretary, Ray LaHood said he could not predict when the 787 would resume flight. "So those planes aren't flying now until we really have a chance to examine the batteries ... That seems to be where the problem is," said LaHood, who told a news conference on January 11 he would not hesitate to fly on the plane himself.
