ANA Boeing 787
An ANA Boeing 787 Dreamliner aborted its flight Thursday at Okayama Airport due to probable hydraulic issue.
White smoke could be seen coming out of one of the engines as it taxxied for takeoff headed to Tokyo. There were 88 people aboard and there were no injuries reported.
‘The 787 has been taken out of service, but ANA suspects a glitch in the hydraulic system to be the cause of the problem. While it may have looked like smoke, ANA has determined that nothing was actually burning. Rather, the white fumes were vapor caused by oil leaking onto the hot engine, creating a mist. Those inspecting don’t believe there is any problems with the engine itself, and that it could be limited to leaking pumps.’
ANA is one of the first customers to fly the Dreamliner, which has been delayed by over 3 years.
