WASHINGTON (AP) — Boeing CEO Jim McNerney said his company is "very close" to getting its troubled 787 Dreamliner jet back flying again.
Two incidents involving batteries on 787s led the Federal Aviation Administration and regulators in other countries to ground the planes in January. Boeing is testing a redesign of the battery system.
"We have a high degree of confidence in the technical solution we are testing right now with the FAA," McNerney said at an aviation conference Thursday. "I think it will be sooner than later."
The Chicago-based company conducted a test flight with the redesigned battery Monday. McNerney expects the tests to conclude in a few days and said the data should be conclusive enough to convince regulators to let the plane fly again.
