EASA Approves Dreamliner Battery Design Changes

LOT Forecasts Its Dreamliners Will Be Flying Again By June

EASA has approved the design change of the Boeing 787-8 Auxiliary Power Unit battery, battery charger and battery enclosure installation and certifies that the changes proposed by Boeing meet the EASA Type Certification Basis requirements. The applicable airworthiness directive will now be updated which will allow the European operated aircraft to return to service as soon as the modification will be installed.

The announcement nearly coincided one from the Polish flagship carrier LOT that it hopes to have its 787s back in revenue service by early June. LOT was the first European carrier to take delivery of a Dreamliner, and it hopes to receive its third 787 in May, with two additional deliveries expected before the end of August, according to a report appearing in the French news service AFP.

The airline's CEO Sebastian Mikosz said the company plans to seek compensation from Boeing for losses incurred while the Dreamliner fleet was grounded.

LOT spokesman Marek Klucinski told the news service that the airplanes will be assigned to routes from Poland to New York, Chicago, and Toronto.
