Japan Airlines grounds Dreamliner over fuel leaks

  • Japan: Tuesday, January 15 - 2013 at 06:13

Japan Airlines Co (JAL) has said that one of its Boeing Co 787 Dreamliner jet, currently undergoing checks in Tokyo following a fuel leak at Boston airport last week, had leaked fuel during tests earlier in the day, Reuters has reported. An open valve on the aircraft caused fuel to leak from a nozzle on the left wing used to remove fuel, a company spokeswoman said. On Friday, the US government ordered a wide-ranging review of Boeing's 787 Dreamliner, citing concern over a battery that caught fire on January 7, also on a JAL plane in Boston, and other problems. The US government and Boeing insisted the passenger jet remained safe to fly.
