The airplane Boeing 787 Dreamliner is running into problems once again. One of the planes caught fire in London Friday, causing the closure of two runways and further delays at the Heathrow airport, one of the world’s largest international terminals.
The Dreamliner planes were suspended for four months because officials were concerned about overheating batteries on the planes being dangerous. They were deemed clear to fly again in April after the creators redesigned the batteries to fix possible issues.
According to NBC News, the Ethiopian Airlines plane was parked far away from the terminal buildings when the fire happened, there were no passengers aboard, and no injuries.
"We can confirm there has been an on-board internal fire involving an Ethiopian Airlines aircraft and the airport's emergency services are in attendance,” said a spokesman of the airport. "The aircraft was parked on a remote parking stand. There were no passengers on board and there are no reported injuries at this time."
Another Boeing 787 Dreamliner was being flown by Britain’s Thomson Airways from Manchester, England to Sanford, Florida and had to turn back at the beginning of the flight as a precaution for possible technical issues. The model also had issues in January, one flight being forced to execute an emergency landing and one catching fire.
The Associated Press reports that the reoccurring mishaps in this specific model are causing the company huge problems, shares went down 4.9 percent right after the news spread of the most frequent fire.
