Boeing's Dreamliner battery fix approved by US regulators

[mhm]

US aircraft regulators have approved a revamped battery design for Boeing's 787 Dreamliner, paving the way for the fleet to return to the skies, after problems grounded it for months.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said airlines needed to replace the batteries to return to service.

It said it will publish a final directive next week.

Other international regulators are likely to follow but it will still be a couple of weeks before flights resume
