United’s brand-new “Elevated” 787-9 has been grounded again, just days after returning from Boeing, and the reported is a serious one involving the Dreamliner’s Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System.
This is aircraft N61101, the same 787-9 I wrote about last month after United sent it back to Boeing following a very troubled operational debut. At the time, I noted that a brand-new widebody does not get pulled from service and sent back to Boeing because a seat door sticks, a galley latch is loose, or the mood lighting is off.
But I did not name the reported system involved, because I was asked not to.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
