AGAIN TECHNICAL PROBLEM WITH UNITED 787

United and Boeing confirmed yesterday that a second United Boeing 787 has suffered an electrical problem. That, according to various media reports, makes three Dreamliners in commercial airline fleets to have suffered electrical problems this month.

United Airlines provided few details, but the news comes 10 days after a previous incident when the pilot of a United 787 flight from Houston to Newark, N.J., diverted to New Orleans after one of the jet’s electrical generators appeared to have failed.

The problem will get more attention because this week Qatar Airways reported an electrical problem on a 787 delivery flight Sunday that grounded the aircraft.
