SEATTLE,
Jan. 8, 2013 - Regarding Monday’s event onboard a Japan Airlines (JAL) 787 at
Boston Logan Airport, we are working closely with the National Transportation
Safety Board (NTSB), our customer and other government agencies. JAL has
reported that smoke detected while a 787 was on the ground after passengers
disembarked and during cleaning was traced to the battery used to start the
auxiliary power unit (APU).
As is
standard practice within the industry, it would be premature to discuss
additional details at this stage as the investigation is ongoing. However,
nothing that we’ve seen in this case indicates a relationship to any previous
787 power system events, which involved power panel faults elsewhere in the
aft electrical equipment bay. Information about the prior events has been
shared with the NTSB and they are aware of the details.
Boeing is
cooperating with the NTSB in the investigation of this incident. Before
providing more detail, we will give our technical teams the time they need to
do a thorough job and ensure we are dealing with facts, not speculation.
