FAA nears decisive step in restoring 787 to flight

US regulators are close to approving a key document that could start the process of returning Boeing Co’s grounded 787 Dreamliner to service within weeks, according to several people familiar with the matter.

Approval of the document, known as a Project Statement of Compliance, would mark a decisive step towards ending the three-month grounding of Boeing’s high-tech jet. It would kick off a series of procedural steps allowing airlines that ordered the US$200 million (HK$1.55 billion) plane to fly them for the first time since January.
