As quoted in the market news:
Any repairs would be subject to FAA approval, and the agency isn’t expected to act immediately without test results showing the fixes can ensure safety, the person said. Changes in the battery also would need the backing of U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, who has said the 787 won’t fly again until the U.S. is “1,000 percent sure” it’s safe.
