United Airlines removes from services multiple Boeing 777s
United Airlines announced that it would temporarily remove
24 Boeing 777s from service, as a new incident occurred this weekend. A Boeing
777 aircraft with PW4000 engines had an engine failure.
Boeing gave a statement that advised the halt of the 777s
that have the same engines as the ones used by United: “we recommended
suspending operations of the 69 in-service and 59 in-storage 777s powered by
Pratt & Whitney 4000-112 engines until the FAA (Federal Aviation
Administration) identifies the appropriate inspection protocol.”
Moreover, the Japanese Federal Aviation Administration
announced an inspection of such planes and ordered airlines to suspend any air
carries with PW4000 engines until stated otherwise.
Over the year, multiple incidents were reported due to
faulty engines, as fan blades fractured, causing even deaths.
After the news hit the wires, Boeing stock traded 3.63%
lower, while United gained 0.27%.
