[SEATTLE] Boeing advised airlines on Friday about a risk of engine icing problems on its new 747-8 and 787 Dreamliner planes with engines made by General Electric (GE), urging 15 carriers to avoid flying them near high-level thunderstorms.

The warning led Japan Airlines (JAL) to pull 787 Dreamliners from two international routes.

Other affected airlines include Lufthansa, United Airlines (an arm of United Continental Holdings) and Cathay Pacific Airlines.
