FAA Administrator Steve Dickson said this order of special investigation might lead to the removal of some of the Boeing 777s from service
A day after a United Airlines plane suffered an engine fire in the United States, the US Federal Aviation Administration has ordered extra inspections of some Boeing 777 passenger jets.
The order of investigation has come after a United Airlines Boeing flight suffered an engine fault shortly after its take-off and ended up scattering its debris across the neighbourhoods of Colorado.
The investigation has led to the suspension of several Boeing 777s from service. However, India remains unaffected by this decision. as the exiting Boeing 777s do not have P&W 4000-112 engine.
