Boeing’s state-of--art Dreamliner passenger jet has been grounded in Japan, India, Chile and USA amid safety concerns. airliner has been hit with spate of technical malfunctions in past month. These range from cracked windshields, brake and electrical problems, and fuel spills. battery fault found on Wednesday on one of Japan’s All Nippon Airways (ANA) planes forced flight to make emergency landing. Japanese transport official described incident as "highly serious," which means there could have been accident. Japanese authorities have suspended all Dreamliner flights until further notice. Japan’s airlines have 24 of 50 Dreamliners Boeing has sold to date.

Dreamliner is expected to revolutionize aviation industry. Its lightweight design, fuel efficiency and advanced safety features mean airlines have been queuing up to buy it. Boeing says it is investigating issues but expressed confidence in aircraft’s safety. company official has put difficulties down to “teething problems” associated with brand new airplane. airline manufacturer's CEO, Jim McNerney, said: "We will be taking every necessary step in coming days to assure our customers and travelling public of 787's safety and to return airplanes to service.” He added: "Boeing deeply regrets… inconvenience to [our customers] and their passengers."
