27-4-2013 – Today Ethiopian Airlines resume flight for the first time since its fleet of four 787 Dreamliners was grounded in January, following incidents of overheating in the batteries providing auxiliary power.

Over the past week teams of Boeing engineers have been fitting new batteries to the aircraft.

Nearly 50 Dreamliners around the world had been out of commission after two incidents on jets operated by Japanese airlines.

The flight from Addis Ababa to Nairobi was the first commercial flight.
