The Boeing (NYSE: BA) 787 Dreamliner is back at it again.
Japan's ANA Holdings canceled flights with the 787 after the engine of one of the aircraft failed to start. The move follows a cancellation by Japan Airlines (JAL) yesterday after a problem with the 787's anti-icing system was detected. June 10th saw ANA halt a flight after a sensor near the engines indicated a potential problem.
There are 27 Dreamliners between ANA and JAL.
The 787 was grounded last January following a series of problems attributed to the aircraft's lithium-ion batteries.
ANA is said to have lost about $166 million in sales on the groundings, while JAL might have experienced a $70 million drop.
Shares of Boeing are flat in early trading Wednesday.
