U.S. regulators said they will perform a far-reaching investigation of Boeing Co.’s 787 Dreamliner after a fire on a Japan Airlines Co. jet this week followed several incidents last year.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration will undertake a comprehensive review of the 787’s critical systems, “including the design, manufacture and assembly,” the Department of Transportation said in a statement. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, FAA Administrator Michael Huerta and Boeing Commercial Airplanes President Ray Conner will address the issues in a press conference at 9:30 a.m. eastern time, it said.
