Japan’s two biggest airlines have grounded all their Dreamliner planes in a serious blow to Boeing.
The decision to ground the planes was made after an A-N-A flight was forced into an emergency landing.
Three national aviation regulators are now undertaking safety investigations, although Boeing insists the plane is safe.
A-N-A and its rival Japan Airlines are among Boeing’s biggest customers for the Dreamliner – they have both said they will ground the entire 787 fleet pending safety checks.
Boeing has more than 800 Dreamliners on order around the world.
