Ethiopian Airlines grounds Boeing 787s as precaution

BY KIRUBEL TADESSE

ASSOCIATED PRESS

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia -- Ethiopian Airlines on Thursday grounded its four Boeing 787 Dreamliners following a decision by the Federal Aviation Administration to take the planes out of service in the United States because of a risk of fire from its lithium batteries.

The Ethiopian airline said its 787s have not encountered any of the problems experienced by other airlines' Dreamliners, but that it would ground its new Boeings "for precautionary inspection," the company said in a statement to The Associated Press.

The FAA on Wednesday grounded Boeing's newest and most technologically advanced jetliner until the risk of battery fires is resolved. That order applied only to the six Dreamliners operated by United Airlines, the lone U.S. carrier with 787s. But the order placed other airlines and civil aviation authorities under pressure to follow suit.

Earlier this week Ethiopian Airlines announced that it had successfully integrated its four 787 aircraft into its fleet with record-length flights.

Ethiopian Air said it had become the only carrier in the world to reach the design range capabilities of the Dreamliners by flying the aircraft from Washington D.C. to Addis Ababa, a distance of 11,500 kilometers (7,145 miles), Ethiopian Air's longest-ever flight.

Ethiopian is the first African and the third airline in the world to operate the Dreamliner.

The 787 is the first airliner to make extensive use of lithium-ion batteries to help power its energy-hungry electrical systems. The batteries charge faster and can be better molded to space-saving shapes compared with other airplane batteries. But the batteries have been prone to catching fire.

Ethiopian Temporarily Pulls the 787 out of Service for Precautionary Inspection per US FAA Directive -
17 January, 2013


Ethiopian Airlines Press Release

Following the directive of the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Ethiopian has decided to temporarily pull its B787 Dreamliners out of service for precautionary inspection on Thursday, January 17, 2013.

The US FAA issued a directive on January 16, 2013 that mandates operators to perform special inspection requirements on the Dreamliner airplane battery system in accordance with a method approved by it. This directive was issued following recent incidents that occurred on Dreamliner airplanes operated by two other airlines.

Ethiopian Dreamliners have not encountered the type of problems such as those experienced by the other operators. However, as an extra precautionary safety measure and in line with its commitment of putting safety above all else, Ethiopian has decided to pull out its four Dreamliners from operation and perform the special inspection requirements mandated by the US FAA.

The airline has been operating the Dreamliner since mid-August last year. Ethiopian Dreamliners have been performing well in the five months service logging record length of non-stop flights and record high daily aircraft utilization in the industry. Since it first received the Dreamliner, Ethiopian has logged 5,560 flight hours with average daily aircraft utilization of 14 hours.

Ethiopian is working closely with Boeing to comply with the US FAA approved special inspection procedure on the battery system and perform the maintenance as per the directive. The airline aims to return the Dreamliners to service as soon as possible, after full compliance with the new procedure.

Ethiopian would like to apologize to its esteemed passengers for any inconvenience this may cause in their travel experience.

ment4you,

I thought we were boycotting EAL... What happend?

I am very sad.. That our Meles Air Lines grounded...I think we should change the airport name to Meles Airport to help us guide as in our darkness day..

To anyone who doubting it Meles Airplne ask urself Ethiopia only have two Boeing that all we have for last 50 years....

ment4you, I am real sad if that make u happy.... I am sad and socked but I want Ethiopian CEO to order more Boeing just to make a point..

Another point I am try to make is why we use the airport for very few number of airlines? I check how many airlines come to addis we have very few in number while Kenya have a lot..

I say no landing fee any plan landing in addis Airport this idea look like crazy...but that is what singapore did... They say free port for anyone come to Singapore port... Ethiopia have no port all we have is our airport and we have sea of unemployed who are willing to work for EAL

Second dont export gold raw instead process it in Ethiopia and sale finished gold in duty free...to that bring skilled goldsmith from India let them do their magic ... Why I say Indian goldsmith because an Indian goldsmith know what an Indian want..

Indian gold market is 100 billion dollar market they alway buy gold for marriage

Why stop Italian goldsmith for Eroupean market... If we do this simple thing we will make a killing... Why I say gold we have to specialized only in one item... When people think gold they have to think Addis Ababa..

Wise move.
We already waited several years to get the planes due to Boeing’s stupid delays. I think a few days of grounding will not heart the airlines reputation or bottom line.

Right now it’s more of Boeing's reputation in the line.

The recent development in rejecting the dream liner is actually worrisome for Boeing. So far the Boeing company who has been quite expressed its first concern on the future of the dream liner After Eritrea who have been the first country to fly the bird and been operating over 20 of 787 dream liner decided to ground them.

"787 dream liner" in the above paragraph is used to replace CAMELS ;)

Hager cud,edu,gibot7/11, EPRP,

Just tell me how is confused the guy who worried about safety that he boycotted

This is like Al-Qaeda worried about an American air passenger and telling him to buckle up safety belt... It doesn't make sense that is how u guy acting..

Anyhow EAL is not out of business they can stil fly using rental plain or Boeing can give them replacement

By the way what do u think Bole International Airport rename to Meles International Airport but keep Bole Airport name for old airport...

U seems wise man so let me ask u one simple question are TPLF and OLF are Ethiopians or not

I couldn't find a single person if u know one person name pls let as know... Don't tell me anyone but TPLF... We know that much what we don't know is a person name... So give us one name..

Problem will be solved soon and EAL will soar like an eagle again.
Battery overheating probably from too many connections that stay connected all the time, they can configure a programmer to cut power off when not in use.
Not enough ventilation for heat from the battery to dissipate. Let more air circulate around it.
Its Boeing's problem but EAL Technicians can solve it anytime.

Ment4you the luutty asshole shabian,...

You said "speaking language does not equate to intelect" HaHaHaHa!
So why don't you come up with something intelectual on any given issue, instead of following me like a stray dog looking for some crumb.
We have never seen you commenting on anything so far, except that infamous two line go back to mekele, addis zefzef the gay shabian.
You're just a disgrace to humans. How do you live with yourself any way?
For the first time in your life on this webssite you try to come up with your own idea. But you showed that shallow brain of yours. You showed your low self esteem. You showed how incompetent mozzafakka you're. By trying to avoid your gaffe.
I will bring it here again. You said "after fighting for so long for LIBATION".
Then we asked you, what do you mean by LIBATION. You said libation means pouring water.
So I will ask you again, who is fighting to pour water? And why should they fight to pour water?
Ment4you the luutty asshole shabian, stop your hallucination of being educated. Educated people don't brag about being smart or genius. You don't need to pretend and talk about yourself. Your comment shows how you're suffering from an inferiority complex. To make yourself feel good is not to carry an elementary dictionary around to correct a typpo. Instead carry that dictionary to a school near you and educate yourself. Following me and write a two line comment to look like me doesn't make you educated. Come up with your own idea and let's hear something from that limited mental capacity of yours. Don't be shy.
Shithead asshole shabian!

Why do we all fall in love with the Dreamliner?
First, EAL is a tiny airline company compared to the big arliners like some over here in the States.
Second, we have to increase business by implementing many routes or stopover cities where market is feasible and if it is allowed by the respective nation.
Third, to do such big project, we should have long-range aircrafts as well as larger passenger capacity planes.
This is my take.

A very good safety measure for the TPLF deciding to gorund the Boeing 787 Dreamliners. I thought doing so would make the TPLF made a hasty decision in ordering 10 of those aircrafts while there are only 6 of those flying in the US.

How about grounding the TPLF regime as well since it lacks several elements for a fully functioning democratic society?

Ash ,as you know any head of state ,includung un our Poor Country ,is Sheltered and fed even dressed with his family and relatives at the Expense of the Tax Payer Money . His Salary is just like a pocket money for his own leisury . Don't you mind that 7000 birr/month is largely ebough comparing to the school Teacher or a civil servant only gaining no more than 600 Birr or the ordinary peoples income unable to feed they and their families . Whether Agazi Bandit or any other politician accessing to the supreme power must show the exemplarity for not being corrupted by any one and under any circumstance . I think that W/T Birtukan Mideksa can be the Right Person .

Re:-W/R Birtukan is attending Harvard University

The question is who did she get this chance?
A. Did any anti Ethiopian pay for her and listed as scholarship
B. Did she use her being jailed and cud leader as one of her application
C. Or other we have to see her application

Second

How she survived are she living like regular scholarship students working at coffeeshop part time for pocket money or someone take care of that..

Lets even say she is clean never taken corruption

By the way getting even free education is corruption... To get free education one must pass the same test like any scholarship students pass.. Otherwise it is corruption hights order.

Can u imagine if she become persident and those who help her come to collect their due..

Anyhow lets even say she is clean and we want her to be a leader of Ethiopia.

Now she as to make a big choice once she finished Harvard University her income would be $500,000 dollars now we telling her forget this come to Ethiopia and work for Ethiopia for $7000 birr.

Now since w/r Birtukan love Ethiopia she give up ever thing she come back to Ethiopia and she lead Ethiopia for two term and Ethiopia become black singapore.... Then she left the office because of two term limit by this time her single daughter apply to get scholarship but unlike her mama she didn't get it and went to her mama Birtukan can u pay for my education I want to go to Harvard University...our former persident Birtukan said I can't affored it because my income is only $ 7000 birr... Then the daughter understand this and start attending Ethiopia university and did fine but she got sick... She went to Ethiopian hospital and they did what they can and advice former persident Birtukan to send her to South Africa hosptal it cost 300,000 birr or 1million birr so Birtukan said fine and went TV and cry about her daughter being sick and begged Ethiopian people to give what ever they can..since Birtukan lost power more the ten year by now new ganration didn't know her or forget about her so the donation only totaled 200,000 birr..

Now ms. Birtukan sold her house 450,000 birr and went to South Africa when she come back she apply for government condo they told her there is five years Waite no one allowed to cut even her so line up like every body else

Then Birtukan by now pushing 60 she goes to UsA... But could not find a job and start working in coffee shop until the right job come in...

This the story of Ethiopian many hero based on truth story..

Lets check where are they now

abebe bikila family they live in poverty.

miruts yifter also forgotten hero

In fact many long distance runners

Most of our political leaders they drive taxi in America just because government changed.

The different between Azab and Birtukan when Birtukan goes to school Azab fighting for freedom so she have no chance of going to school so if both lady come to America Birtukan might get high paying job since Azab have no paper to show that she is qualified she might end up in coffee shop... For this might be fanny but u like it or not she is First Lady are u going to treat our First Lady this way..

I know where u are coming from u are the generation of impossible u always this some one get rich because they steel but it never occurred to u Ethiopia 80,000 people have rest for last 21 years because there is no major war....if u ask me even mengistu haile mariam Deserve a quality of live they way he live now l don't think it is only 7,000 birr u might say the America give him money my question is is how we treat our leader?make them begg American... If that the case the next leader will think twice to upset the American because his retirement will be cut...

I will stop here I have more to say...I realy respect you for ur strong believe but million of Ethiopia believe the same way like u... So it not worng to the way u do... For u line of thinking to work the elected leader must be billioner who doesn't want any thing only to serve who have 8 years to give then what u( mr.teddy) saying work if u look American persident 80% are multi millioner no minim wage guy can run and win the set..

I hope u come back and defend ur stand because I have more hummer to land on u..( joking)

Teddy, I love u for standing for ur believe but giving money to our hero such as our sport hero our our political leader is not a bad thing... Look Haile get million running and wining but sport federation is the one who is responsible for his success so Haile should have giving all his wining to sport federation so more sportsmen could be developed that is one way looking at it another way give the money strictly to hail and he will be sport federation by himself without sport federation look Haile didn't drink all the money he is investing the money to create more job...car company farming hotel etc etc so that is how u develop wealth by giving people a break if Azab only worth 7,000 birr per month she can't hire no one and no job u see what I am saying

Teddy,

U R okay Haile G/Selassie, making million Just for running but Azab can do fine with 7,000 birr for running the nation.

Ask urself who allowed Haile G/Selassie to make all kind of money be it from running be it from AD who allow him to keep his own money?

In miruts yifter the running give their winning to sport federation but not Haile G/Selassie that is why he very loyal to Meles.

Not only Haile G/Selassie but even each runner keep their money and invest the way as they see it fit... Even runner can run for other country and come back to Ethiopia to invest in ur Father Time this is a crime punishable by death.

Even footballer make $250,000 dollar even teddy Afro ur brother make 690,000 birr for one cd... And he make 50,000 dollars from one show all this possible because of the policy of Meles.. Even ur beloved W/r Birtukan got a second chance thanks for Meles if it were ur father devil himself mengistu haile mariam she would have been Killed the first time she open her mouth.

Anyhow it is very useless to talk to u I thought u make an honest mistake.... But I think u know what u r doing u plain is to get ride of Azab by any means the funny thing is she is not in power no more....and u seems u dont value the work of First Lady or her husband work as leader u like it or not our family back home rise up every day for last 21 years under Meles power for ur family being safe I mean there is no revolution, or Arab spring or civil unrest or civil war or war because of Meles at least u can give this to Meles the Somalian will pay to get Ethiopian peace under Meles...

This how much I can say...thanx

Ash ,never your dead evil master gave the single chance to W/T Birtukan Mideksa .He was simply obliged to free her by the pressure of the State Department and Donor Countries .Even sell out opportunist Bandas as Pastor Daniel had organised the fake show chanelled on ETV . Whether Haile or Teddy are famous by their skills only certainly not his Legacy . Eventhough Haile ,to save his Business ,was obliged to wear Black suite and shed his tears for the Great Leader...LOL !!!! Like the Beggar crying your Dead Master, at the Menelike Palace ,by praising him for his life of misery in the Streets Of Addis...LOL !!!!

Teddy,
Sew tera bilut erasu meta. I you noticed at bottom of the page it says
Source: Ethiopian Review.What I need is neural source as I sent you one from India the other from US.But if You are interested I can you send report that says 'Meles unlike most African leaders used AID money for development of his country rather than personal use'.I read at the Economist megazine .Trust me he is free from corruption. I know few EPRDF officials that are suspected in corruption.Most human right people have negative attitude for Meles but never said that he is corrupted .If he was corrupted and had deposit for sure they knew it through their network and publicize it as they did for Mubarek and Gadafii.Meleam Timeket ke ne betesebeh

The only sensible thing to do now is to privatize EAL before it goes bankrupt. It is time to cut off EAL which is prone to slow down the five years growth and transformation plan.

You see your problem start from the beginning.She is not owner of EFFORT rather she is CEO of EFFORT.There is big difference between being owner and manager.As any person she is business women legally work in chat export.

Yea we beleive you..wink wink. she is not an owner but a CEO elected by the board of directors. Who are these board of directors any way? name a few.
As a CEO she can get fired. right?who can fire her?
She was appointed soley by Meles "God bless his soul". Now he is dead. let see who has the power to remove her from CEO of the family owned bussiness of the biggest conglamorate/cash cow in the country.

Haile ,hope you are not fool enough by not understanding ,that TPLF means Meles Zenawi ,that means Azeb, EFFORT ,and Tigre Mafiosis Illegal Business . This evil Lady is more than the CEO but simply the owner . Hope next time you will not arguing that she is legally participating in Drug Business and Humans Smuggling....LOL !!!!!

Dear Seattle,

Do u think the gibbot 7/11, OLF, ONLF, cud, EPRP, edu, cud,etc etc leader any better..

If they elected they will live with their means which is $7000 birr per month salary and they will never abused their power...

Then I will call Azab looter and all kind of name but if u try to replace Azab with someone else and that someone still doing what Azab does then I call insolent

Or if u tell me u will cry and shout the same if other do like Azab do then I tell u don't waste u engery they will do what Azab does.... If dont trust me ask egptian, ask Eritrea ask any one who change their government by reel ovulation hopping to get a new one the endup with old one one name change even ask those who did Ethiopian lived in 1970 revoultion

One thing good going for Azab is she is investing in Ethiopia who could have stop her if she took the money and left Ethiopia...u like it or not Ethiopian are benefited by working for her..by being very big company the can under take big project again better for ethiopia then outside company.

Your argument is always based on false information and rumors, not facts.First you said She is owner and now shifted to more than CEO. I am sure you do not have enough information how EFFORT operate from reliable source. You might have some propaganda info from opposition groups media outlet.
Regarding chat ,it is legal to chew chat in Ethiopia and many countries including UK . Chat is not drug as you stated rather it is mild stimuli like coffee and coca.
Seatle,
I don't know the detail how EFFORT CEO is appointed or selected but I know that all ex CEO [Seye,Arekebe,Aboye,Getachew ,Abadi ] were members of TPLF Polite Bureau when they were appointed by TPLF chair man .The same is true for Azeb.

Haile,

How u love it a twilight world where he been question for being successful...if Azab lived in public condo and wash her cloth and were torn down cloth, asking the public for donation then she would be an honest person who love Ethiopia... But if she run billion dollar company and make it very successful then u will be question how in hell u make it happen..

One more thing if Azab is poor and doesn't know how to run her live then how in hell one expect her to make us rich...

Haile, they admit Azab run or own those billion company...now ask them in America how much those people get paid to run those kind of company imagine this company operate in Africa that alone one must give credit to Azab for not running down the business... If u ask me I don't care if devil own the company in Ethiopia as long as my people work and benefited I got reasonable priced goods the go to go...

It is not better she invest in Ethiopia then run away? Again give where criedit in due...I love Azab for leave power peacefully u like it or not this act alone worth billion dollars


The only problem with Azab is she is not Birtukan that is her crime

Ash and Haile ,you can fool nobody with your childish argument , representing as a Good Samaritan an evil looter lady owning illegally 2/3 of the economic activities , while the majority of the peoples are starving .Brainwashed by the Agazi ideology of Hates of Talaku Tigrai and Mirtu Ye Tigrai Lidji , you wanna us to legitimate your bandit bros conspiracy of desmanteling the unity and sovereignty of the country and the looting of the peoples wealth .By an Ethno Mafia Firm (TPLF/EFFORT) under the rule of the evil widow .

By the way Haile ,you said chat is not a drug but a stimulator as coffee and coca . By the way I have seen nobody committing car accidents after consuming cups of coffee and bottles of coca .Concerning chat I invite you to watch this .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_K_A_EKoVE . After this BBC report hope that the British authorities habe taken the proper measure to ban chat business .
