Qatar Airways Ltd. said a 787 jet received from Boeing Co. this week remains grounded with a faulty generator, a problem similar to what forced last week’s emergency landing of a Dreamliner operated by United Continental Holdings Inc.
Qatar Air’s third 787 exhibited the failure on its Dec. 9 delivery flight from the U.S., Akbar Al Baker, the Gulf carrier’s chief executive officer, said yesterday at London’s Heathrow airport. The plane may remain grounded for at least another four days while Boeing sends spares and a recovery team.
