Dreamliner to conduct one-time ferry flight

PanARMENIAN.Net - Boeing Co will be allowed to conduct a one-time ferry flight of a grounded 787 Dreamliner from Texas to Washington, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said on Wednesday, Feb 6.

The FAA said the plane would have a minimal crew, which would have to continuously monitor the battery's status and land immediately if the flight computer displayed any battery-related messages, Reuters reported.

Regulators grounded the 787 on January 16 after a series of incidents with the plane's batteries.
