787 authorized to take off again. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has just approved the modifications proposed by Boeing for its 787 lithium-ion batteries. After being grounded for more than three months, the Dreamliner will finally be able to resume service... But when? This is the end of the tunnel for Boeing, the end of a nightmare that lasted more than three months. The U.S. - F.A.A. has just given the green light to the modifications proposed by the air-framer for its 787 lithium-ion batteries. ( “The FAA will require airlines to install containment and venting systems for the main and auxiliary system batteries, and to replace the batteries and their chargers with modified components.”) In their turn, other global regulating authorities must now approve these new batteries, which necessitated more than 100,000 hours work by the American manufacturer’s teams before a solution to this problem of short circuits was found. Therefore the 50 aircraft, banned from flying since 17th., January, will gradually be able to resume service. The first before the end of this month, the last during June. Boeing has just deployed 300 technicians around the world to carry out the modifications, requiring 4-5 days’ work and several test flights, per plane. All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines, for example, plan to undertake 200 before taking on passengers again, and both have already started repairs. And the financial impact could be heavy... If Boeing re-iterates that this “forced immobilization” will not have a significant impact on its financial targets in 2013 - the fact remains that All Nippon Airways ( A.N.A. ), having cancelled thousands of flights, assesses their losses, for example, at $ 1 million per day. The total bill for Boeing could therefore be between 200 and 500 million dollars. The price to pay for this return to normal, so eagerly awaited.
