Boeing Co. is scaling back its presence at the 2025 Paris Air Show this week following the June 12 fatal crash of an Air India 787 Dreamliner wide-body jet
The investigation into Air India flight 171 crash opens up questions into the many concerns surrounding Boeing's 787.
The crash happened just weeks after the company cut a deal with the U.S. government to avoid taking criminal responsibility for a pair of deadly crashes in 2018 and 2019.
The Air India flight, carrying 242 passengers and crew members, crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad, India, en route to London Gatwick.
Boeing is forecasting strong growth in aviation despite recent crash, with demand for 43,600 new planes by 2044.
Last year, the F.A.A. said it was also investigating claims by a Boeing engineer that parts of the fuselage, or body, of the Dreamliner were improperly fastened together, which the whistle-blower said could cause premature damage to the plane over years of use.
Air India plane crash investigators reportedly find the first of the "black boxes" from the Boeing 787-8 that slammed into buildings, killing all but one of the 242 people on board.
Boeing Co. Chief Executive Officer Kelly Ortberg finds himself in a familiar role — facing another crisis — this time a crash involving the company’s marquee 787 Dreamliner jet in India that killed more than 240 people.
