The Boeing 737 Max is expected to begin flying in China again as early as the end of this month after being grounded for more than two years following two fatal crashes, China's civil aviation administration said on Friday.

Chinas aviation authority on Thursday issued an airworthiness directive on the Boeing 737 MAX that will help pave the way for the models return to service in China after more than 2-1/2 years,... | December 3, 2021

The Federal Aviation Administrations (FAA), the United Nations (UN) body for aviation safety, has initiated an evaluation of the safety rating of India aviati

Unpreventable strange if needed. his words come weeks after british warships passed the cry mean peninsula in the black sea. and in italy, nearly 400 people evacuated overnight as fires swept through part of the island of sardinia. a preliminary report or indicates 10,000 acres burned but no fatalities. thats a look at some stories from around the globe. well, the future of air travel could be on the horizon with electric battery-powered airplanes in the works for both passenger travel and c...

Planes, but it could be five years or longer before we see those planes in air with passengers onboard. and thats in part because the faa needs time to evaluate the safety and airworthiness of those aircraft. now, dont think of a 747 making a crosses-country flight when you think of these lek planes. theyre going to be much -- electric planes. theyre going to be much smaller, more regional flights. what is coming to the market much sooner is this, this is a hybrid electric autonomous cargo plane...

>> as a maintainer it pains me to say this, but i think were finding more and more where it is repair related. >> there were at least two suicides in the wake of this incident. a japan airlines employee who was working with victims families and an inspection engineer who issued a certificate of airworthiness for the doomed plane after the 1978 tail strike. to this day, jal 123 remains the deadliest single aircraft accident in the history of aviation. weve seen the disastrous results of airplanes...

>> there were two suicides in the wake of this incident, a japan airlines employee who was working with victim families. and an inspector who issued the certificate of airworthiness for the doomed plan after the 1978 tail strike. to this day, jal 123 remains the deadliest single aircraft accident in the history of aviation. weve seen the disastrous results of airplanes not properly repaired, maintained or inspected. japan airlines flight 123, american flight 191, aloha flight 243. weve also seen...

there at their convention how he would measure progress. he literally used these words, he said we measure progress differently than republicans, presumably, but it was the fact that he said we measure progress and then he described how it was he and his party measured progress, and i think its interesting given the fact that he laid out what his report card would be to go back and score him on the very report card he laid out. he said, for instance, that we, the democrats measure prog...

To develop over the service life after the airplane was returned into passenger use. there was no proper inspection procedure, as well. >> as jal 123 passes through 24,000 feet, cracks begin to connect between the rivets, leading the bulkhead to fail catastrophically. its a structural failure due not to bad airplane design but to a faulty repair and inadequate oversight. >> when we look back at structural failures, how common is it that its repair or maintenance related? >> it pains me to say th...

That theres no reason to be concerned, i dont think, about the airworthiness of the airplane. thats speculative on my part. but were not dealing with a 50 or 40-year-old airplane. were dealing with a modernized airplane. could that have been a problem? sure, it could. its a single engine airplane. might have lost its engine for some reason. >> what is the likelihood in crashes like this that the investigators from the faa or ntsb jointly actually find out what happened? >> i think very high. >> ...
