Boeing 737 Aircraft

The Indian aviation watchdog has introduced new safety measures for Boeing 737 aircraft after concerns over the potential risks with its rudder control systems. An aircraft rudder is a primary tool that controls the movement of the jet.

US aircraft manufacturer Boeing said Monday it had reached a "definitive deal" to buy its subcontractor Spirit, which has faced scrutiny over production quality control in recent months.

50 minutes into its journey, the Boeing 737 Max 8 plane started descending sharply and fell about 26,900 feet in around 15 minutes.

A Corendon Airlines Boeing 737 plane's front tire burst upon landing at an airport in southern Turkey on Thursday, the Turkish transport minister said, adding there were no casualties and all 190 passengers and crew were evacuated.

Boeing has yet again drawn controversy after its 737 aircraft had to make an emergency landing after losing a wheel during takeoff.

A video of the incident shows a piece of the engine cover barely hanging as the crew lands the plane.

Akasa Air, one of India's newest airlines, has said it is "extremely pleased" with the performance of the Boeing 737 Max aircraft but added that "no amount of focus on safety is enough".

US aircraft manufacturer Boeing said Sunday it has learned of new problems with the fuselage of its flagship 737 model which, while not posing an immediate in-flight danger, will require "rework" on dozens of planes.

Boeing will refrain from commenting on its financial outlook while it focuses on quality control after a near-catastrophic 737 MAX flight earlier this month, the company said Wednesday.

The airline said that the diversion took place due to a "maintenance issue."

Alaska Airlines gradually resumed flights with its Boeing 737 MAX 9 fleet on Friday, three weeks after a mid-flight blowout of a panel and emergency landing prompted sweeping inspections of the aircraft, the company said.

The decision of the US aviation regulator to restrict an expansion in manufacturing of the controversial Boeing 737 Max aircraft could be bad news for India's airlines.

Alaska Air Group Inc. found loose bolts on "many" of its Boeing Co. 737 Max 9 aircraft following the midair blowout of a panel on one of its planes earlier this month, the carrier's chief executive officer said in an interview with NBC.

India will not have to wait too long for a Boeing aircraft that is designed and manufactured in the subcontinent, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said at the inauguration of the plane maker's engineering centre in Bengaluru today.

Back in October, Boeing Co. Chief Executive Officer Dave Calhoun sought to rally employees reeling from a manufacturing setback, this time involving wrongly drilled holes in a crucial aircraft section.
