All Nippon Airways Co. and Japan Airlines Corp. resumed regular 787 services Saturday, after Boeing's troubled aircraft was grounded worldwide for over four months due to battery problems.
The first scheduled 787 flights by the two carriers were on international routes from Tokyo's Haneda airport — ANA's Flight 203 to Frankfurt and JAL's Flight 35 to Singapore.
It was JAL's first commercial Dreamliner service since the aircraft's global grounding in response to fires caused by its lithium-ion batteries. ANA carried out five provisional flights between Tokyo and Sapporo last week, from Monday to Friday.
