Wiring faults found in Boeing 787 aircraft


Recommended Posts

 

The Japanese airline ANA says it has found an electrical wiring problem in fire extinguishers for engines of three Dreamliner jets.

 

The problem - the latest in a series of setbacks for Boeing's 787 - was first discovered during pre-flight maintenance of a jet at Tokyo airport, an ANA spokeswoman said.

 

The airline said it was investigating whether the faulty wiring would have caused the extinguisher to malfunction in case of an engine fire.

 

After ANA reported the fault, rival Japan Airlines turned back a 787 jet en route to Helsinki to check the fire extinguisher wiring.

JAL said it was now conducting checks on all 10 of its 787s.
