Let us begin with Boeing. The Boeing company performed exceptionally well at the airshow, receiving the greatest number of orders and commitments to purchase the aircraft despite the fact that the aircraft manufacturer had previously faced criticism for the Boeing 737 Max, but after the aircraft returned to commercial service, few airlines still consider the Boeing 737 Max for their airlines.

The Boeing corporation has three significant airlines in the pipeline with production halts owing to clarification and certifications: the Boeing 737-10 max and the Boeing 787, as well as the Boeing 777x, which is in the experimentation phase.

Korean Air to open Asia’s largest aircraft engine MRO cluster

Korean Air to open Asia’s largest aircraft engine MRO cluster

Korean Air has started building an aircraft engine maintenance cluster at Incheon International Airport in Unbuk. The facility is expected to be operational by 2027.

This new complex, which will be the biggest of its kind in Asia, will strengthen the airline’s capacity to maintain aircraft engines and secure its place in the aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) industry.

Over 140,000 square metres are divided into seven levels of the new engine maintenance facility. The 578 billion won facility is being built by Kolon Global, and it will be positioned next to the Engine Test Cell (ETC) that the airline has been using since 2016.

Engine maintenance was traditionally handled by Korean Air at its Bucheon facility, with additional final performance testing conducted at the ETC in Unbuk. By centralised all stages of engine maintenance at one location, the engine maintenance cluster will strategically consolidate and streamline this process, improving operational efficiency.

Additionally, Korean Air plans to greatly improve its capacity to service aircraft engines, increasing from 100 to 360 each year, and servicing a wider range of engine types. Six engine models are now overhauled by the airline: General Electric’s GE90-115B, CFM International’s CFM56, and Pratt & Whitney’s PW4000 and GTF.

Three additional engine models, including GE’s GEnx and CFMI’s LEAP-1B, are being added to the lineup as part of the expansion. Additionally, the prospect of maintaining Asiana Airlines’ engines—including the Rolls-Royce Trent XWB powering the Airbus A350—is being investigated by the carrier. In order to increase the competitiveness of the domestic aircraft MRO business and lessen reliance on foreign maintenance services, the new maintenance cluster is anticipated to create over 1,000 new jobs.

The Indian-built Dornier is set to undergo aircraft upgrades for future operations. Currently utilized solely for defense purposes, it has now secured new operations under the Air India umbrella, expanding its usage to commercial aircraft as well. Being one of the most economical aircraft for any airline, it’s advantageous due to its Indian origin and suitability for short routes and rugged terrains such as mountains or seas. The D228 aircraft has also established itself as a benchmark for operations, requiring less maintenance compared to other aircraft

Mid Life Upgrade (MLU) of 25 Dornier Aircraft is likely to generate an employment of 1.8 Lakh Man- days during its execution span of 6.5 years. The indigenous upgrade entails supply of major systems and equipments from indigenous sources thus significantly contributing towards “Atmanirbharta” in Defence, in consonance with Make-in-India initiative of Government of India.

LATAM Boeing 787 cockpit seat

One of the most alarming incidents involves Boeing’s flagship 787 Dreamliner jets. Following a report linking an accidental cockpit seat movement to a sudden plunge experienced by a LATAM Airlines plane en route to New Zealand, Boeing swiftly responded by recommending airlines to inspect switches on pilots’ seats.

The company’s directive, issued on Friday, underscores the gravity of the situation, with safety considerations taking precedence. Boeing’s recommendation advises airlines to examine the motorized boeing 787 Dreamliner cockpit seats during maintenance routines and provides instructions on disabling seat-moving motors. This precautionary measure comes in the wake of an incident where 50 individuals were injured during a flight drop, believed to be caused by seat movement.

United Airlines Boeing 737

Moreover, another unsettling incident emerged involving a boeing 737 Oregon, United Airlines flight operated by a Boeing 737-800. Upon landing at Medford Airport in Oregon, a fuselage panel was discovered missing from the aircraft. Although the flight proceeded smoothly and landed as scheduled, the absence of the external panel raises significant safety questions.

United Airlines has pledged to conduct a thorough examination of the plane and address any necessary repairs before returning it to service. The incident adds to Boeing’s growing list of challenges, further amplifying concerns about the integrity and maintenance of its aircraft. The narrative surrounding these incidents evokes a sense of unease within the aviation industry and among the traveling public.

The revelation that a seat switch malfunction could potentially lead to a catastrophic event underscores the importance of rigorous safety protocols and oversight. Boeing’s response, coupled with United Airlines’ commitment to addressing the issue promptly, highlights the collaborative efforts necessary to ensure the safety and reliability of commercial air travel.

A statement from United stated that an external Boeing panel had been discovered missing from the aircraft after it had been parked at the gate. The statement also stated that United will be performing a “thorough examination of the plane and completing all the needed repairs before it returns to service.”

In addition to six crew members, United reported that the aircraft was carrying 139 passengers. At 10:20 a.m., according to the airline tracking website Flight Aware, the flight left San Francisco and arrived in Medford early, landing at 11:36 a.m.


John Barnett, aged 62, a Boeing whistleblower who bravely reported on the poor quality conditions at Boeing facilities, tragically passed away, reportedly due to suicide. However, a close family friend disputes this narrative, asserting that Barnett had expressed concerns about his safety and had foreseen his demise. This unsettling development has left Barnett’s family and friends deeply troubled, leading to suspicions regarding the circumstances of his death. These suspicions have prompted a response from Boeing, as questions arise about the company’s responsibility and potential involvement in Barnett’s passing.
