BOEING 787 AND ITS GROWING PROBLEMS!!!

Action: Japan Airlines has pulled Boeing 787 Dreamliners from two of its international routes

The Boeing 787 Aircraft continues to be a problem for Airliners because of the risk of ice forming on them during high-level flights. It is gathered that thunderstorms could produce ice crystals on the planes powered by General electrics (GE). Japan Airlines is said to have pulled the new Dreamliners from two International Flights. It would be recalled that this same Aircraft has had issues with power supply, brakes, oil and fan shaft, plus plane fires. This issue also affects the Boeing 747-8 series, powered by GE Engines or Rolls Royce's Trent 1000. Lufthansa, United Airlines, and Cathay Pacific Airlines have also been warned!!!
