Another Boeing 787 hit by technical snag

A Boeing Co. 787 Dreamliner plane returned to Boston's Logan International Airport on Thursday after a mechanical indicator alert came on.

Airport spokesman Richard Walsh said the pilot decided to turn back out of an abundance of caution.

Carol Anderson, a spokeswoman for Japan Airlines, which operates the Dreamliner plane, confirmed the move but did not give details of the incident, Fox News reports.

She said that as a standard precautionary measure due to a maintenance message indicator, JL007 bound for Tokyo-Narita returned to Boston Logan for checks.
