Dreamliners grounded amid safety concerns

All of Boeing's 50 flagship 787 Dreamliners have been temporarily taken out of service amid safety concerns.

It follows a smoke alert on a flight in Japan on Wednesday - the latest in a string of incidents over the last few weeks.

The US and European aviation agencies said planes should be grounded while safety checks are carried out on their lithium ion batteries.
