Japan Airlines owns seven of the Dreamliner planes and has suffered from a fuel leak problem, and one plane caught fire in Boston early this year before Boeing replaced the battery packs that forced a three-month grounding of the planes.
Just yesterday the United Kingdom’s air safety board determined that a fire in a 787 parked at Heathrow was due to a battery that powers the plane’s emergency locator transmitter. The agency urged owners of the planes to disable the transmitters, which are made by Honeywell International Inc. (NYSE: HON), by removing the battery that provides power to the devices.
Boeing’s shares are down nearly 2% in premarket trading this morning, at $105.60 in a 52-week range of $69.03 to $108.15.
