Another 787 Dreamliner Has Mechanical Issues

For the third time, in three days, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner had issues. On Wednesday, an All Nippon Airways flight from Yamaguchi prefecture to Tokyo was cancelled due to brake problems.

This incident follows two that happened for Japan Airlines at Logan International Airport, in Boston. The first happened on Monday, when an auxiliary battery system caught on fire, after landing. It was followed on Tuesday, when another 787 started leaking fuel, as it was taxiing for take off.

Both airlines say that this will not change their mind about using the 787s, and neither will cancel their orders to have many more made. They feel that the problems are just growing pains, which will be worked out as the planes are used. Other airlines stated similar opinions.

Despite the support of the airlines, Boeing's stock did fall both Monday and Tuesday, and was looking to do so again, on Wednesday. Aerospace analysts are suggesting that Boeing should have focused more on quality assurance and rigorous testing, instead of mass production of the planes.
