Shares of Boeing dropped almost 5 percent Friday after an empty 787 experienced a fire at Heathrow Airport.

The fire broke out on the Ethiopian Airlines plane on Friday afternoon, and was discovered when smoke was seen on the plane eight hours after arriving from Addis Ababa. No one was injured.
起火飛機為埃塞俄比亞航空公司的客機。飛機12日從埃塞俄比亞首都亞的斯亞貝巴飛抵希斯羅機場(chǎng),在停泊8小時(shí)后,有人看見(jiàn)機身冒煙,火勢才得以被發(fā)現。事故中無(wú)人受傷。(路透社)
Investigators classified the fire as a “serious incident”but have found no evidence it was caused by the plane’s batteries,Britain’s Air Accidents Investigation Branch(AAIB)said on Saturday.
英國航空事故調查部門(mén)(AAIB)13日證實(shí)這是一起“嚴重事故”,但尚未發(fā)現證據表明此次事故是由飛機的電池系統引起的。(路透社)
The UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch’s finding will provide limited comfort to the manufacturer because it was the overheating of lithium-ion batteries on two Dreamliners in January that prompted regulators to order a global grounding of Boeing’s newest and most sophisticated passenger jet.
不過(guò),英國航空事故調查部門(mén)的調查結果并不足以讓波音公司感到安慰。今年1月,兩架夢(mèng)幻客機因鋰離子電池過(guò)熱起火,監管者對該公司的這款最新且最先進(jìn)的客機施以全球禁飛的處罰。(《金融時(shí)報》)
The planes were cleared to resume flying in April after Boeing redesigned the battery system and got approval for the changes from global aviation regulators. Ethiopian was the first airline to resume using the 787.
在波音公司重新設計了電池系統并得到全球航空監管機構的批準后,該型號客機于今年4月復飛。埃塞俄比亞航空公司是第一家恢復運營(yíng)787客機的航空公司。(美聯(lián)社)
Meanwhile,Thomson Airways said on Saturday that it had replaced a small number of components on a Dreamliner that turned back during a flight on Friday from Manchester to Florida,adding the aircraft would fly again on Sunday. The UK airline said the Dreamliner,which returned to Britain as a precautionary measure,had suffered a “minor technical issue”.
與此同時(shí),12日,一架從曼徹斯特飛往佛羅里達的787夢(mèng)幻客機因故折返英國。英國湯姆森航空公司13日宣布,飛機遭遇了“微小的技術(shù)問(wèn)題”,折返是出于安全考慮,目前已將飛機上的一小部分零部件進(jìn)行了替換,飛機14日正常復飛。(《金融時(shí)報》)
Boeing shares fell $5.01,or 4.7 percent,to $101.87 in trading Friday. The shares earlier dropped as low as $98.99.

Shares of Boeing suppliers also fell. Precision Castparts fell $3.49,or 1.5 percent,to $233.78. Spirit Aerosystems,which also makes parts for the 787,fell 48 cents,or 2.1 percent,to $22.65.
波音公司供應商的股價(jià)也受到牽連。Precision Castparts下跌3.49美元至233.78美元,跌幅為1.5%。同樣為787客機生產(chǎn)零部件的Spirit Aerosystems下跌了48美分至22.65美元,跌幅為2.1%。(美聯(lián)社)
Citi analyst Jason Gursky said a fire related to the plane’s electrical system,even if it is not tied to the lithium-ion battery,would be a concern for investors.
花旗集團分析師杰森·古爾斯基表示,即使飛機起火原因與鋰離子電池無(wú)關(guān),但只要與飛機的電路系統有關(guān),都會(huì )成為投資者關(guān)心的事。(美聯(lián)社)
