JAL, ANA eye compensation claims over Dreamliner grounding

No cash compensation...give them points it is common practice in Japan :)

The compensation will come in the form of tremendous discounts for JAL and ANA on their next orders. I am willing to bet we will see a 748i in the colors of one or both airlines.

With blackout dates on the times you want to travel.

The batteries were made in JAPAN and they want compensation from Boeing???????

so is Boeing getting compensation from Yasua?

@Kapuna: Boeing is legally responsible for assuring the safety of the end customer, exactly like Toyota even if it uses some faulty components made in USA. I find funny the double standards of some guys in this site.

JAL, ANA eye compensation claims over Dreamliner grounding

Very good.. These are covered by business insurance at commencement of Dreamliner projects.

I'm betting Boeing wouldn't mind some "launch aid" arrangements that Airbus has with European governments.
