NEW YORK — A fuel leak forced a Boeing Co 787 Dreamliner operated by Japan Airlines to return to the gate at Boston’s Logan International Airport Tuesday, canceling its scheduled takeoff, with the new jet, a fire official said.
The leak occurred on a different plane than the one that experienced an electrical fire Monday at Logan, said Richard Walsh, a Massport spokesman. That plane also was operated by Japan Airlines.
The fuel-leaking plane had left the gate in preparation for takeoff on a flight to Tokyo when the fuel spill of about 40 gallons was discovered, Walsh said. No fire or injuries occurred, and the passengers were taken off the plane, he added.
