The crash of Air India Flight 171 on Thursday marked the first fatal crash and the first hull loss for a Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

Iran Air is reportedly reaching out to prospective partners and aircraft suppliers as it prepares for the possible rollback of U.S. sanctions.

The aircraft entered revenue service last week, operating between Chicago O’Hare and Los Angeles, as well as London Heathrow.

Court records show that none of the plaintiffs actually flew on a MAX aircraft during that period but instead traveled on Southwest’s 737-700 and 737-800 jets.

Boeing has delivered its first aircraft to China since the country temporarily blocked its airlines from accepting the company’s jets.

Reuters reported Wednesday that FAA Acting Administrator Chris Rocheleau is not relaxing a limit on the number of 737 MAX aircraft Boeing can produce per month.

The company will pay over $1 billion in penalties and safety improvements via its settlement with the Department of Justice.

The FAA has extended a program that allows Boeing to perform certain agency tasks, like inspections, for another three years.

The Department of Justice has motioned to dismiss a criminal lawsuit against Boeing over two fatal 737 MAX crashes in 2018 and 2019.

Airline mechanics and engineers got an early look at a Boeing 777X recently as part of the company’s efforts to prepare crews for maintaining the jet.
