Japan set up a team to investigate the safety of the Boeing Co. 787 after aircraft operated by the nation’s carriers suffered a series of glitches since last week, including a fire on board a Japan Airlines Co.. jet in Boston.

The team comprises members of the transport ministry’s aviation safety department and freight safety committee, Shigeru Takano, group manager of the safety department, said by phone today. The group, established yesterday, will work with the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and Boeing, he said.
