Commercial flights of the Boeing 787 could resume as early as next week after Boeing on Monday began installing reinforced lithium ion batteries on five grounded 787s operated by launch customer All Nippon Airways.
Teams of Boeing engineers are working at four airports in Japan, including Tokyo’s Haneda and Narita hubs, where the Dreamliners have been parked since all 50 Dreamliners were grounded in mid-January after batteries on two of them overheated.
