The family of deceased Boeing whistleblower John “Mitch” Barnett has filed a lawsuit blaming the company for his suicide.

Japan Airlines will introduce 17 Boeing 737 MAX 8s to its fleet in anticipation of strong domestic travel demand, the company said.

The agency noted that undetected upper wing skin cracks could compromise the airplane’s structural integrity, potentially leading to loss of control.

One crew member sustained serious injuries, while 15 others on board the flight suffered minor injuries, according to investigators.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy recently toured Boeing’s production facility in Renton, Washington, on Thursday.

Over time, Boeing could lose out on global market share, largely confining itself to only the U.S. market, Kelly explained.

Errors in forward pressure bulkhead assembly and installation could ‘adversely affect the structural integrity of the airplane,’ the agency said.

Southwest CEO Bob Jordan hinted at a “different aircraft” amid ongoing delivery woes at Boeing during a recent conference.

A deadly engine failure prompted the agency to issue its airworthiness directive addressing the engine’s unsafe condition.

An airline spokesperson told AirlineGeeks on Monday that these aircraft will be operated in their current configuration, primarily on shorter routes.
