Scoot sees second extended 787 delay in weeks
Technical and administrative issues caused a Scoot Boeing 787 Dreamliner flight to be delayed 56 hrs.—the second extended delay for the LCC’s 787s in less than a month. The most recent incident occurred Dec 18 when an “aircraft equipment limitation” delayed an Athens-to-Singapore flight, forcing 321 passengers to disembark, Scoot said. By the time the passengers re-boarded, the pilots had exceeded their flight-duty limits and the aircraft was grounded. The flight was rescheduled for the following day, but flight approvals were rescinded by air traffic control after the aircraft was pushed back. Scoot mounted another 787-8 to Athens and the passengers arrived in Singapore Dec 21. Nov 26, a Scoot 787 flight from Tokyo-Narita to Singapore was delayed 26 hrs. because of a fuel system problem. <br/>
