Boeing 787 Dreamliner Test Flights Begin

Boeing Co.’s (NYSE: BA) 787 Dreamliner is aloft again, as test flights of the troubled plane have started. Regulators still do not know what caused the battery problems that grounded the plane.

According to CNN Money:

Boeing’s troubled 787 Dreamliner completed a two-hour flight Monday, in a first test of the aircraft’s redesigned battery system.

The brief flight, which departed from Everett, Wash., took the plane along the Pacific coast into Oregon before returning to land at Paine Field. According to Boeing, the flight went “according to plan.”

The company did not say what “according to plan” means.

Shares of Boeing are inactive in premarket trading this morning. The share price closed yesterday at $84.85, or about 12% higher year-to-date. The 52-week range is $66.82 to $86.49.
