Norwegian issues were mostly related to fuel pumps.
UA had a rash of incidents, mostly electrical if I remember correctly.
ANA has mostly engine management system and brake system issues. ANA stopped publishing details.
AI has been vocal from beginning, but was discounted as internal mx issues, mainly software, spoiler actuators and windshield cracks. There are unconfirmed rumors VT-ANI wingbox was reworked. AI also has very early revisions of GEnX, one frame with both faulty engines, lot went through rework, but GE has been very proactive.
BA had some of the weirdest issues. One IFSD.
Brunei had problems with both engines.
Keep in mind, none of these caused any flight safety issues. It is mostly heartburn and revenue loss for airlines.
Even though battery got most attention, I think software in general and spoiler actuator system are still the culprits. By the time it lands there are so many messages, line mx has to make sure is it a false warning (or) bad sensor (or) bad component and remediate.
Rest of the issues kind of settled.
