United Continental Holdings Inc. took Boeing Co.’s 787 Dreamliner off its flight schedule for an additional two months, through June 5, as the planemaker seeks to fix the grounded jet’s batteries.
The only exception would be to use the 787 on a new route between Denver and Tokyo if the jet is cleared to resume flights by May 12, the new start date for that service, said Christen David, a United spokeswoman. The Chicago-based carrier had planned to begin the flight on March 31.
