Ethiopian launches first 787 Dreamliner flight since grounding Apr 27th 2013, 08:14 ADDIS ABABA, April 27 | Sat Apr 27, 2013 4:14am EDT ADDIS ABABA, April 27 (Reuters) - Ethiopian Airlines on Saturday became the world's first carrier to resume flights with Boeing Co's <BA.N > 787 Dreamliner passenger jets, a Reuters witness said, three months after they were grounded over battery meltdowns. An Ethiopian Dreamliner passenger jet left Addis Ababa for a scheduled flight to Nairobi just before 11 a.m. (0800 GMT) and was due to arrive in Kenya about two hours later.

Dreamliners had been grounded on Jan. 16 after two battery meltdowns that occurred on two jets within two weeks that month.
