All Nippon Airways and the Boeing Co. are investigating the 787’s landing gear following an incident on Sunday.
ANA’s pilots manually had to deploy the landing gear on the Dreamliner during a flight on Sunday. The carrier was flying one of the first two 787s to be delivered to Okayama, Japan, when a cockpit monitor indicated the landing gear was not fully down, reports The Wall Street Journal.
Boeing delivered the first Dreamliner to ANA in September after a more than three-year delay. ANA put the Dreamliner into commercial service just last week after flying special charter flights in late October.
The airline plans to put the 787 on a route between Tokyo and Beijing in the near future before flying the Dreamliner on a route between Tokyo and Frankfurt, Germany.
