ANA puts their domestic (japan) flights there. There are 6 ANA there now. You can find some China Southern and LAN there at times as well. It seems like they are utilizing the fleet.larmeyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05183118401815657010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553457216067299334.post-56635003695317077312013-07-16T20:42:46.867-04:002013-07-16T20:42:46.867-04:00I have looked at 787 flights on Flight Tracker and...I have looked at 787 flights on Flight Tracker and it's been very odd - at any one time ANA has only 2-4 787's in the air, even though they have had at least 17 delivered. <br /><br />Is ANA still concerned about the 787's safety? <br /><br />Right now there are only (2) flying of the 18 flying. <br /><br />http://flightaware.com/live/aircrafttype/B7881coolguy1https://www.blogger.com/profile/18386118652263417781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553457216067299334.post-40552808412558498712013-07-16T09:42:58.075-04:002013-07-16T09:42:58.075-04:00http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/07/16/us-boein...http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/07/16/us-boeing-dreamliner-honeywell-idUSBRE96F0M820130716TravelingManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00646246710480409506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553457216067299334.post-68291512420602168212013-07-14T22:16:32.939-04:002013-07-14T22:16:32.939-04:00Ok, thanksOk, thanksAndrew Munsellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14508504195347644645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553457216067299334.post-27180975219425269172013-07-14T22:15:23.516-04:002013-07-14T22:15:23.516-04:00In terms of a decision with regards to what happen...In terms of a decision with regards to what happens to the airframe after the AAIB is done with it, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a decision within 2 weeks. First comes the AAIB investigation though. I'm sure the Boeing engineers are looking at it and trying to ascertain if it's economically viable to repair.Ureshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10277326957559578045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553457216067299334.post-77396679359004628712013-07-14T22:05:53.693-04:002013-07-14T22:05:53.693-04:00I have heard coffee pot and possible intentional f...I have heard coffee pot and possible intentional fire being started but it is too early to know.

But the media reports that all power was shut off on the aircraft. So where would the power come from to overheat a coffee pot? (not assuming that that was the cause, but as a hypothetical scenario). Anybody know?TravelingManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00646246710480409506noreply@blogger.com
