Japan May Consider Support for 787-Hit Airlines

TOKYO--Japan's transport minister said Friday that the
government may have to consider steps to support the operators of
Boeing 787 Dreamliner jets following the global suspension of the
aircraft last month.
"We may need to think about how to deal with [the suspension] at
some point," Akihiro Ota said at a regular press conference.
Still, the minister said the top priority remains finding the
cause of incidents that led to the grounding of the aircraft.
A battery that caught fire on a Japan Airlines Co. (9201.TO) 787
in Boston and another battery problem with an All Nippon Airways
Co. (9202.TO) 787 prompted the grounding of all 50 787 jets
worldwide in mid-January.
