In the event you have not seen, all 50 of these state-of-the-art jets were seated by protection specialists earlier in 2013 due to overheating issues on the aircraft's lithium-ion batteries. The grounding reach airlines hard, causing snags in planned routes and driving some airlines to rental airplanes. The St. Louis Business Journal studies Qatar Airways alone dropped $200 million in revenue because of the incident. Even though researchers have not found the cause of the problem, the Federal Aviation Administration basically authorized Boeing's recommended short-term fix for the problem late last month, placing the wheels in motion for the return of individual flights. Ethiopian Airlines and Qatar Airways have both already resumed Boeing 787 flights, and up to now everything generally seems to have gone along without a hitch, but we're wondering if the billions of dollars that have already been committed to the planes have caused items to be pushed along a tad too quickly. United can kick off Boing 787 company in the U.S. Throughout an 11 a.m. CT starting from Houston to Chicago O'Hare. Might you book a trip knowing it is planning to be on a Dreamliner, or can you wait just a little to observe things pan out? [Photo credit: Dave Sizer / Wikimedia Commons] Filed under: Airlines, News
