The investigation by Boeing takes place three years after all 737-Max8 aircraft were grounded for almost two years. It happened after a plane crash in Indonesia in 2018 and in Ethiopia in 2019. – Profit before safety The lawyer for relatives of passengers who died in the plane crash in 2019, Robert Clifford, believes that the aircraft manufacturer is again prioritizing profit before safety, writes the Associated Press. Clifford believes that the incident last Friday, when a sealed aircraft door came loose and fell off a plane in the air, leads to new critical questions. Aviation lawyer Robert Clifford.

Now it’s a company completely at the bottom when it comes to standards, says the lawyer. Robert Clifford specializes in matters related to American aviation. Part of the fuselage found in the garden A part of the fuselage came off seven minutes after a new Boeing Max9 plane took off from the airport in Portland in the state of Oregon in the USA last Friday. The incident left a gaping hole in the plane. It returned and made an emergency landing, and neither passengers nor crew members were injured in the dramatic incident.

The part is a type of panel that was used to plug an emergency exit that was not in use on the plane from Alaska Airlines, writes NTB. How many emergency exits airlines are required to use varies depending on how many seats they have on board. Therefore, it is quite common to plug emergency exits that are not used. Notice of printing error The aircraft in question is considered brand new. The maiden flight was completed in November and the plane has only completed 145 flights, writes the Associated Press. The pilots on the plane were notified three times about a pressure error in the plane. The notices came on December 7, January 3 and January 4, according to Homendy. Alaska Airlines responded to the warnings by not operating the aircraft over long stretches of sea. A departure to Hawaii was replaced by another type of aircraft, the BBC writes. The company has grounded all of its 67 Max9 aircraft. It is not clear whether there is any connection between the warning lights coming on and the incident where the pressure dropped rapidly.

Boeing’s stock falls Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun stated on Sunday that the handling of the matter “is and must be” the company’s focus. – When such a serious incident occurs, it is critically important for us to work openly with our customers and regulatory authorities to understand and address the cause of the incident and to ensure that it does not happen again, writes Calhoun. Boeing’s stock falls sharply after the incident. Compared to Friday’s close of trading in New York, the share is down 7.5 percent. The accidents cost Boeing dearly Boeing received massive criticism after the plane crashes in 2018 and 2019. The company was accused of rebuilding and modernizing the classic 737 model in record time due to competition from European Airbus.

Boeing was forced by the US aviation authority FAA to ground all 737Max8 aircraft for nearly two years while the investigation was ongoing. Boeing has estimated the costs after the two accidents at 20 billion US dollars. The Associated Press writes that Boeing has entered into settlements with most of the families of passengers who died in the plane crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia in 2018 and 2019.
