ANA and JAL grounded entire Boeing 787 fleet after a new emergency landing

All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines, launch customers of the brand new Boeing 787 Dreamliner, grounded today their entire fleet of 787.

An All Nippon 787 made an emergency landing in Japan this morning after pilots got a battery-fault warning and smelled smoke. NTSB is currently in the process of gathering information about the 787 emergency landing in Japan this morning.

This emergency landing comes a week after a battery in a JAL Dreamliner caught fire on Jan. 7 in Boston. FAA and NTSB prompted to review the design and manufacturing of the 787. 

>> “This is the worst new aircraft development program Boeing has experienced, when you look back at these troubles and all the delays,” said Richard Aboulafia to Bloomberg.
