Iconic airline manufacturer has seen its flagship aircraft the Dreamliner suffer yet another setback. The luxury aircraft which is yet to enter commercial operation has been dogged by problems and is massively over its original deadline by three years.
The latest problem was an electrical fire started in the fuselage, which resulted in an emergency landing taking place. Boeing confirmed that all other supporting systems worked as they should in the situation.
The incident has resulted in Boeing grounding all their Dreamliners while tests are carried out. The long awaited Dreamliner is still due to be delivered on March 2011 with All Nippon Airways to be the first airline to take delivery.
The news comes after main rival Airbus experienced major problems with its Trent 900 engines on the Qantas fleet of A380’s.
