ANA cancels more Dreamliner flights

The Dreamlier problems are turning into a nightmare for Japan's All Nippon Airways (ANA).

The Japanese carrier, which opperates the biggest fleet of Boeing's problematic 787s, cancelled another 379 flights today - between Feb. 1-18 - and more cancellations will be announced in the next few days.

Rumour has it that ANA is about to launch legal action against Boeing to reclaim some of their losses. According to ANA, 82,620 passengers to date have been affected by cancellations due to teething problems associated with the Dreamliner - all 17 of ANA's Boeing 787s have been grounded.
U.S. safety officials are looking into a battery problems with the plane which have resulted in some minor fires - thankfully, there's been no serious injuries so far.
