Dreamliner: Boeing starts replacing 787 batteries

Boeing has started replacing batteries on some of its grounded 787 Dreamliner fleet, moving a step closer to getting the planes flying again.

It comes after US aircraft regulators approved a revamped battery design.

Problems with the plane's battery had resulted in the entire fleet of the 787s being grounded and deliveries of the aircraft being halted

Japan's All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines are among the first carriers that will have the batteries replaced.

All Nippon Airways (ANA) and Japan Airlines (JAL) are the two biggest operators of the 787 Dreamliner.

This took a big leg up after the results on 25.2. You can see why when you read again the CE's comments. They have a healthy cash position and are planning more acquisitions too. One to stay with imo, of course. Have held for several years already.

2012 saw Senior deliver another year of record results. Adjusted profit before tax increased by 17% and adjusted earnings per share by 22%, driven by revenue growth and a strong first year's performance from the recently acquired Weston business. Continued healthy operating cash flows resulted in a net debt to EBITDA ratio of only 0.6 times at year-end, leaving the Group well placed to fund future organic and acquisitive growth. Trading has been in line with expectations since the start of 2013 and this, combined with healthy longer-term prospects for the Group, gives the Board the confidence to recommend a 22% increase in the full year dividend for 2012, in line with the increase in adjusted earnings per share."

I've noticed that the note at the bottom of the ADVFN page regarding SENR describes them as an AIM listed company. How ridiculous.

Someone should get a grip of these précis. I've noticed this error many times with a variety of other stocks.

Having said - its going well today.

I have been expecting SNR to suffer when and ever Boeing is subject to any adverse comment concerning its current 787 'grounding situation'. I consider SNR's done very well since releasing Results, even in face of wider jittery market conditions. However, Boeing's current position will continue, in my view to prove to be its 'Achilles heel' until the whole matter is finally resolved.

Dreamliner to be flying again sooner rather than later apparently.

So welcome news for SNR.

FAA still not cleared Dreamliner for more test flights - but making little difference here.

Still basking in the results.
