This is another incident involving the Dreamliner after an Ethiopian Airlines plane caught fire last week due to a battery problem, causing the closure of Heathrow Airport in the United Kingdom.
The Japan Airlines Dreamliner left Boston Logan Airport for Japan at around 1 pm on the 18th. The flight time was expected to be 14 hours, but it returned to Boston before 6:30 pm. After the flight was announced to be cancelled, all passengers were arranged to transfer to other flights to continue their journey.
A spokesman for Japan Airlines said that the return of the Dreamliner from Boston to Tokyo, Japan, was a precautionary measure to prevent accidents. The pilot took standard precautions when he saw the instrument warning that there was a problem with the fuel pump. The pilot returned and landed safely, and no emergency was declared.
Japan Airlines' 787 Dreamliner experienced at least two malfunctions at Logan Airport. A battery fire occurred in January this year, and the next day, another Dreamliner leaked 50 gallons of fuel on the runway.
A Dreamliner caught fire at Heathrow Airport in the United Kingdom on the 12th of this month, causing the airport to be closed for an hour and a half while firefighters put out the fire. An investigation into the Ethiopian Airlines Dreamliner released on the 18th showed that the fire was caused by a malfunction of the lithium battery.
On the same day, there were also reports of a plane being forced to return in Houston, Texas. A United Airlines Boeing 777 flight bound for Amsterdam was forced to make an emergency landing at the Houston Airport due to an engine shutdown on the evening of the 18th. There was no accident during the landing and no one was injured in the incident.
United Airlines personnel said: "Flight 58 from Houston to Amsterdam began returning to the Houston Airport after the staff discovered an engine problem."
