Company 'Remains Committed' To Working With The Board To Get Dreamliners Flying Again
Boeing issued a statement late Thursday saying it welcomes the progress reported by the NTSB in the 787 investigation, including that the NTSB has identified the origin of the event as having been within the battery. "The findings discussed today (Thursday) demonstrated a narrowing of the focus of the investigation to short circuiting observed in the battery, while providing the public with a better understanding of the nature of the investigation," the statement said.
The company said it remains committed to working with the NTSB, the FAA and its customers to maintain the high level of safety the traveling public expects and that the air transport system has delivered. "We continue to provide support to the investigative groups as they work to further understand these events and as we work to prevent such incidents in the future. The safety of passengers and crew members who fly aboard Boeing airplanes is our highest priority.
"The 787 was certified following a rigorous Boeing test program and an extensive certification program conducted by the FAA. We provided testing and analysis in support of the requirements of the FAA special conditions associated with the use of lithium ion batteries. We are working collaboratively to address questions about our testing and compliance with certification standards, and we will not hesitate to make changes that lead to improved testing processes and products."
