American aircraft manufacturer Boeing has grounded some of its 787 long-range airliners after finding several manufacturing defects in areas where parts of the fuselage are joined together. This comes as the firm's 737 MAX aircraft has already been grounded after two crashes. Boeing said the eight planes must be inspected and repaired before they are allowed to fly and has conveyed the same to airlines operating them.
