美國(guó)飛機(jī)制造商波音公司1月31日公布，去年全年，波音公司營(yíng)業(yè)額達(dá)到創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄的817億美元(約合人民幣5081億元)，同比增長(zhǎng)18.92%，上一年同期為687億美元。波音公司董事長(zhǎng)、總裁兼首席執(zhí)行官詹姆斯·邁克納尼(James McNerney)表示，公司在2013年的第一要?jiǎng)?wù)是解決787的電池問(wèn)題。
The new plane’s powerful electrical system does more work than those on earlier jets and has an intricate，many-tiered chain of suppliers.Boeing bills the 787 as a “more-electric”airplane.The electricity in flight is provided by six generators.It also carries two lithium-ion batteries，the focus of the recent incidents that have grounded the 787 fleet.
新飛機(jī)強(qiáng)有力的電子系統(tǒng)比早先的飛機(jī)發(fā)揮更大的作用，具有錯(cuò)綜復(fù)雜的、多層級(jí)的供應(yīng)鏈。波音將787定位為更為電氣化飛機(jī)。六個(gè)發(fā)電機(jī)提供電力。同時(shí)還有兩個(gè)鋰離子電子，這是最近引起787停飛的主要故障點(diǎn)(《西雅圖時(shí)報(bào)》)。
Company engineers blame the 787’s outsourced supply chain，saying that poor quality components are coming from subcontractors that have operated largely out of Boeing’s view.
公司工程師指責(zé)787的外包供應(yīng)鏈，聲稱(chēng)零部件質(zhì)量差歸咎于次級(jí)合約商，這些合約商的行為遠(yuǎn)非波音能監(jiān)測(cè)到。(《西雅圖時(shí)報(bào)》)
彭博社周五報(bào)道指出，美國(guó)對(duì)波音787夢(mèng)幻客機(jī)電池起火事故的調(diào)查可能會(huì)長(zhǎng)達(dá)數(shù)月，這也使得這種目前波音公司最先進(jìn)的客機(jī)解除禁飛令重返天空變得遙遙無(wú)期。
ANA，Asia’s top airline by revenue， lost more than $15 million in revenue from having to cancel Dreamliner flights last month. Earlier this week it said it was unclear as to when Boeing’s sophisticated new plane would resume commercial flights，making it harder to predict the longer-term financial impact of having the plane idle.
全日空，這個(gè)亞洲收入最高的航空公司，自從上個(gè)月取消夢(mèng)想客機(jī)航班以來(lái)已經(jīng)損失了1500萬(wàn)美元的收入。本周早些時(shí)候，該公司表示，它對(duì)于波音787這一高精尖的新型飛機(jī)何時(shí)能夠恢復(fù)航班仍不清楚，因此對(duì)于這一飛機(jī)空置長(zhǎng)期而言會(huì)造成什么樣的影響還難以預(yù)測(cè)。(路透社)
ANA is prepared to recoup from Boeing whatever damages it suffers from flight cancellations and other costs caused by the worldwide grounding of 787 jets。

ANA has canceled close to 850 flights until February 18，affecting over 82，000 passengers. The Dreamliner makes up around 7 percent of ANA’s fleet，and the airline normally operates around 1，000 flights a day and carries 3.7 million passengers each month.
全日空到2月18日為止共取消了850次航班，影響到超過(guò)82000名乘客。夢(mèng)想客機(jī)約占全日空飛機(jī)總數(shù)的7%，該公司每天大約有1000次航班，每月載客數(shù)高達(dá)370萬(wàn)。(路透社)
盡管波音787停飛造成了全日空的損失，不過(guò)這家公司并未停止從波音的飛機(jī)進(jìn)口。
Japan’s ANA is in talks with U.S. aircraft maker Boeing Co to speed up the delivery of three 777 jetliners as its fleet of 787 Dreamliner airplanes remains grounded with undiagnosed battery problems，the Nikkei newspaper said on Sunday.

另外，印度航空部長(zhǎng)阿吉特辛(Ajit Singh)2月1日表示，波音公司有責(zé)任向印度航空因安全原因停飛名下所有的787夢(mèng)幻客機(jī)而作出賠償。波蘭國(guó)有的LOT航空公司早些時(shí)候也表示，將會(huì)因?yàn)槊聝杉?87客機(jī)的停運(yùn)要求波音公司作出賠償。
