A Boeing 787 Dreamliner headed to Tokyo was diverted back to San Diego
because of a possible problem with the aircraft's deicing system.
NBC-7 in San Diego reports the Japan Airlines flight left Lindbergh
Field shortly after 1:30 p.m. PDT Wednesday. But the plane turned around
and landed back in San Diego by 3:10 p.m. PDT.
Airline officials told the television station the pilot received an
error message for the deicing system. The pilot made the decision to go
back to San Diego so repairs could be made.
The Dreamliner has suffered a few glitches, most notably overheating
lithium-ion battery systems that caused the planes to be grounded
worldwide for three months this year. Boeing redesigned the battery
systems to the satisfaction of U.S. aviation regulators.
