The aircraft initially had a dent in its reputation due to its Lithium ion Batteries, catching fires.
There were incidents including fire on board during commercial service.
These systems were reviewed both by the FAA and the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau.
The FAA issued a directive in January 2013 that grounded all 787s in the US, and other Civil aviation authorities followed suit.
After Boeing completed tests on a revised battery design, the FAA approved the revised design and lifted the grounding in April 2013; the 787 returned to passenger service later that month.
