Prestigious Boeing Dreamliner plagued by incidents
Fuel Leaks, brake problems, even a cockpit window during flight tears: one after the other problem affects the new flagship of Boeing, the Dreamliner. Jetair expects the growing pains are resolved against the delivery of its copy, the end of this year.
The plane of the future: it was the 787 Dreamliner Boeing baptized at the show in 2007, economical, lighter and more environmentally friendly. He would be 20 percent less fuel, and therefore ordered Jetair first in Belgium to the prestigious unit.
Today, the mood at Boeing turned, after a week with five incidents (see box). All problems occurred in Asian airlines. The American Aviation FAA opened an investigation. The inspectors wish to include the design and manufacture view. Also last month had several aircraft carriers to the ground.
Jetair remains confident. "Specialists assure us that it is common that such revolutionary devices teething exhibit. That's one of the reasons why we are not at the first deliveries wanted to hear, "said spokesman Hans Vanhaelemeesch. “By the end of the year, when we Dreamliner into use, the errors are certainly out.”
Last year, 46 Boeing Dreamliners off, twice as much as by industry analysts had predicted. The stock price of Boeing's this week already fallen by five percent.
