The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration will decide “very soon” whether to allow Boeing Co.’s grounded 787 Dreamliner back in the air, Administrator Michael Huerta said.
Huerta, speaking to reporters after a congressional hearing on aviation safety, didn’t give a date for when the agency expects to render a decision. Boeing’s newest model has been grounded since Jan. 16, following a second incident in which a lithium-ion battery on the aircraft overheated.
