NYT reported Ethiopian Airlines chief pilot asked Boeing how to deal with flaw that led to 2018 Lion Air crash. ‘Boeing chose not to answer beyond referring pilot to public document’.
The quality auditor was fired by Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems after he flagged defects in production at its Kansas plant. He alleged that his concerns were ignored.
Aircraft major Boeing courts scrutiny after 5 January incident where a portion of an Alaska Airlines plane’s fuselage blew off shortly after take-off, forcing an emergency landing.
The plane turned back after about 15 mins in the air. No one was injured. DGCA said the crew shut down the second engine after an 'oil filter bypass light got illuminated in cruise'.
In its order dated 26 August 2021, the DGCA stated that the operation of Boeing 737 Max planes are permitted 'only upon satisfaction of applicable requirements for return to service'.
An official said that Boeing continues to work to safely return the Max to service, adding that over 170 out of 195 global regulators have opened their airspace for the model.
SpiceJet booked other income of Rs 10.9 bn, the amount it expected to get in compensation from Boeing for not being able to fly its 13 Max aircraft, helping the company to trim its losses.

India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
