KOMPAS.com - Boeing 777 planes with a certain type of engine will have to undergo immediate, stepped-up inspections, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said in an emergency airworthiness directive issued on Sunday.
The FAA issued the emergency directive in the wake of an airline incident on Saturday. Debris from a United Airlines Boeing 777-200 passenger plane fell onto a suburb of the US city of Denver after its right engine experienced failure shortly after takeoff.
FAA: Some planes will likely be removed from service
The directive applies to Boeing 777 airplanes equipped with certain Pratt and Whitney PW4000 engines.It will likely mean that some airplanes will be removed from service, FAA Administrator Steve Dickson said in a statement.
MIAMI – The Republic of Kenya joins Nigeria in giving the Boeing 737 MAX the green light to operate in the East African country again.
On February 21, 2021, both countries’ Civil Aviation Authorities signaled their satisfaction with Boeing’s modification and recertification program, following the aircraft’s 20-month grounding.
While there are no native Boeing 737 MAX operators in Kenya, the release of the ban on the aircraft type in that country allows other carriers, such as Turkish Airways (TK) and Ethiopian Airlines (ET) to operate the aircraft into the country.
