{{Boeing Co has asked the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for permission to conduct test flights of its 787 Dreamliner, suggesting the company is making progress in finding a solution to the battery problems that grounded the entire 787 fleet last month.}}<\/p>\n
Boeing said it has submitted an application to conduct test flights, confirming a report in the Seattle Times. <\/p>\n
The newspaper reported that the FAA might grant permission as soon as Monday night, citing sources with knowledge of the matter. <\/p>\n
The FAA said it is evaluating Boeing\u2019s request.<\/p>\n
Boeing would test a potential fix for the problem that caused two batteries to burn on 787s last month, the paper said. <\/p>\n
But passenger flights would still be weeks if not months away, the paper said, citing two sources.<\/p>\n
