Japan Airlines halts 787 flight after battery pressure sensor problem

Japan Airlines said it halted a scheduled 787 Dreamliner flight on Sunday after engineers detected a faulty pressure sensor in one of its newly reinforced lithium-ion batteries, replacing the aircraft with an older 767.

The Boeing jet is one of 50 Dreamliners that were grounded for more than three months after batteries, one on a parked Japan Airlines 787 in Boston and another aboard an ANA Holdings plane during flight in Japan, overheated.
