BEIJING, July 20 (Xinhuanet) -- A Japan Airlines flight to Tokyo’s Narita Airport has returned to Boston’s Logan Airport due to a possible fuel pump problem.

The Boeing 787 aircraft left for Tokyo just before 6 pm GMT on Thursday. It was forced to turn back after less than 6 hours of the scheduled 14 hour flight. Japan Airlines says the decision was made "as a standard precautionary measure".

It’s the latest glitsch for the new Dreamliner aircraft, after a battery problem grounded the fleet in January, and a fire erupted on an empty Ethiopian Airlines plane parked at Britain’s Heathrow Airport last week. The 787 is the newest aircraft designed by Chicago-based Boeing company, which has said it stands behind its safety and overall integrity.
