Boeing has decided to retract its application for safety exemption for the Boeing 737 MAX 7 aircraft.
Boeing 737 Max 9 jetliners are carrying passengers in the United States again for the first time since they were grounded after a panel blew out of the side of one of the planes. Alaska Airlines resumed a limited number of flights with its Max 9s on Friday.
Boeing’s latest widebody aircraft, the 777-9, took off from Hyderabad’s Begumpet airport, marking a significant moment in aviation. The aircraft is scheduled to land in Guam and will continue its journey to Seattle. The 777-9 is the main attraction at the Wings India 2024 exhibition, capturing the attention of business professionals and the general public.
Boeing will conduct more quality inspections on its 737 Max 9 aircraft after an emergency exit door panel failed on an Alaska Airlines flight. This is the latest setback for Boeing, which has been facing manufacturing flaws and a tarnished reputation. The inspections will involve bringing in airline customers and independent inspectors to ensure safety. The incident raises concerns about the safety and quality of Boeing’s aircraft.
The FAA investigation is looking into the plugs used for extra exits on Boeing 737 Max 9 jetliners. Boeing has pledged to cooperate with the investigations conducted by the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board.
U.S. regulators have grounded 171 MAX 9 planes following an incident where a panel blew off an Alaska Airlines-operated flight. This incident has raised concerns about the safety of Boeing’s MAX 9 planes, impacting the two U.S. carriers that operate this model.
Boeing is urging the Indian Navy to procure more P8I aircraft to enhance its capabilities for maritime surveillance. The P8I is a key asset for the Navy’s surveillance missions, equipped with advanced anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare capabilities. This move comes in light of the increasing maritime threats and challenges in the Indian Ocean region.
