ANA cancels 787 flights through May
Japan's All Nippon Airways is scrubbing its planned 787 flights through May as the Boeing Co. plane remains grounded.
ANA has 17 of the planes — more than any other airline.
The canceled flights include trips from Seattle and San Jose to Tokyo, as well as flights around Asia. The airline says flights from Frankfurt to Tokyo's Haneda airport will continue on a different type of plane.
ANA has now had to cancel 3,600 flights that would have carried almost 168,000 passengers.
The 787 has been grounded since Jan. 16 because of the risk of battery fires. Other airlines that have had to cancel 787 flights include United Continental Holdings Inc. and LOT Polish Airlines.

I think I will take the Bus
I guess Boeing is having some problems with the Newly design, FAA approved Nightmareliner!
What a massive headache!!
Why is this news... as all 787 flights should have been cancelled due to the planes being grounded.... DUH... So these planned flights, should have been cancelled a long time ago, when they figured out that it was going to take longer to fix the issue with the batteries..
@Mr. H: It all has to do with equipment scheduling. Everyone knows the 787 will be back in the air, just not sure when. It is easier and cost effective for some airlines to take a block of dates and shuffle the equipment around rather than through their whole schedule out and start all over.
