LONDON — Thomson Airways says one of its Boeing 787 Dreamliner planes traveling from England to the United States had to turn back after experiencing a technical issue.
The incident was the second to involve one of Boeing Co.’s troubled planes yesterday. Earlier, Heathrow Airport temporarily shut down its runways due to a fire on an empty Ethiopian Air 787.
Thomson said that Flight 126, traveling from Manchester Airport to Sanford, Fla., had returned to Manchester “as a precautionary measure.”
The airline said that all passengers had disembarked from the plane and that engineers were inspecting the aircraft.
