Boeing will move “really fast” to return the Boeing 787 to service once the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration approves the company’s proposal to solve the airplane’s battery problem, Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Ray Conner told attendees at the J.P. Morgan Aviation, Transportation & Defense Conference in New York on March 4. Although he wouldn’t offer a specific time frame, nor could he reveal any details of the “three-layer” solution he presented FAA Administrator Michael Huerta, Conner expressed confidence that the agency and the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB) will find the proposed fix sufficiently thorough.
