Norwegian Air 787-8 hydraulic pump fails in Bangkok
Norwegian Air suffered yet another Boeing 787 Dreamliner breakdown on Friday Sept. 27 when a hydraulic pump failed, delaying a flight to Stockholm from Bangkok, a spokesman. Norwegian’s two 787s have broken down several times this month. The company could not say how long the plane would be grounded this time and was making alternative travel arrangements for passengers should the delay prove extensive.

idiotic - yea that's what i mean
Come on ! "potentially the 787 is a monumental failure" it's infact the exact opposite
sorry but that is a completly idotic remark and has no basis in reality...

Would it be any different in any other state or country... Doh... Just MEL it and bring it back, or send over another one and replace it.. What is the big deal... Things break... that is my we have MEL's
It would be interesting to see a list of other hydraulic pump failures by aircraft type that occurred on the same day.
Reuters is reporting Norwegian Air is returning the airplane to Boeing: http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/09/28/us-boeing-norwegian-dreamliner-idUSBRE98R06E20130928
The good old A340. My fave machine.
I noticed that parts availability is a problem with any new plane. I was stuck in Sud Afrika for 30 hours once while Virgin's mechanic, Kermit, searched the world for a hydraulic pump for a then new A340. They took the pump off an arriving aircraft, the only other A340 in the country. That plane had to wait for a Boeing to arrive from Europe with a new pump.
