(Before It's News)

TOKYO/WASHINGTON, Jan. 11, 2013 (Reuters) — Boeing Co’s 787 Dreamliner jet suffered a cracked cockpit window and an oil leak on separate flights in Japan on Friday – the latest in a series of incidents to test confidence in the sophisticated new aircraft.

All Nippon Airways Co said a domestic flight from Tokyo landed safely at Matsuyama airport in western Japan after a crack developed on the cockpit windscreen, and the plane’s return to Tokyo was cancelled.

The same airline later said oil was found leaking from an engine of a 787 Dreamliner after the plane landed at Miyazaki airport in southern Japan. An airline spokeswoman said that return flight to Tokyo’s Haneda airport was also cancelled while the leak was investigated. No one was injured in either incident.

The Dreamliner, the world’s first carbon-composite airliner, which has a list price of $207 million, has been beset by problems this week.
