Boeing Co.’s 787 Dreamliner is poised to resume flights in Japan, ending a more than three-month hiatus that grounded 24 planes owned by ANA Holdings Inc. and Japan Airlines Co.
ANA said it will conduct the jet’s first test flight on April 28, after Japan today approved restart of the 787 flights with upgraded batteries. The government’s permission is for all flights, including test and commercial services, said Shigeru Takano, a director at the ministry’s Civil Aviation Bureau.
