Wiring Defect Found In ANA Dreamliner Fire Extinguishers

JAL Aborts Helsinki-Bound Flight After Announcement

Faulty wiring has been discovered in the fire extinguishers aboard three Dreamliners owned by All Nippon Airways (ANA). The discovery prompted Japan Airlines to abort a Dreamliner flight en route to Helsinki Wednesday.

The problem aboard the ANA 787 was discovered before a scheduled departure from Haneda airport in Tokyo for Frankfurt, Germany. It was repaired and the flight later was allowed to depart. Subsequent inspections uncovered similar issues in two other Dreamliners owned by ANA, which operates 20 of the airplanes.

The French news service AFP reports that JAL recalled its Helsinki-bound flight following the announcement, and that it would be inspecting its 10 Dreamliners for defects.

The problem could lead to a malfunction in the airplane's engine fire-suppression systems, according to an ANA spokesman.
