Japan Airlines Co., the world’s second-largest operator of Boeing Co. Dreamliners, diverted two of the 787 jets back to their departure airports today after separate problems with the aircraft.

A 787 bound for Tokyo returned to Moscow after electrical issues with the toilet and galley that were unrelated to the battery, said Norihisa Hanyu, a spokesman at the airline. Another Dreamliner headed back to San Diego airport after an indicator showed problems with an engine de-icing system, said Takuya Shimoguchi, another company spokesman.
