Airlines and regulators have grounded the majority of Boeing's flagship 787 Dreamliner planes amid continuing safety concerns.
Airlines in Chile and India have temporarily halted 787
flights, following a US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) directive.
European regulators have also followed suit, ordering that planes be grounded.
A string of issues in recent weeks have raised questions about the 787.
Dreamliners have suffered incidents including fuel leaks, a cracked cockpit window, brake problems and an electrical fire. However, it is the battery problems that have caused the most concern.
On Wednesday Jan 16,2013, an All Nippon Airways (ANA) flight made an emergency landing because of a battery malfunction that caused them to ground all 17 of their Dreamliners and Japan Airways followed suit.
