Another fleet of Boeing jets were found earlier this year to have a potentially fatal flaw, The issue involved an electrical fault on the company’s 777 jets that could cause fuel tanks on the planes’ wings to catch fire and explode, Discovery of the flaw exposes that nearly 300 more Boeing planes are potentially at risk, including jets used by United and American Airlines, according to the notice by the Federal Aviation Administration…
The FAA reported the issue in March and requested that Boeing and other outside experts respond by May 9, but it remains unclear if the company has done so, DailyMail.com has approached both Boeing and the FAA for comment, A spokesperson for Boeing emphasized that the FAA’s March 25, 2024 notice was for a ‘proposed rulemaking,’ seeking comment from Boeing and others before the federal agency would formally mandate any proposed fix to its 777 series of jets.
It is just the latest major safety warning to be directed at the scandal-hit company by regulators — as multiple models of Boeing passenger jets have face door plug blowouts, mid-air engine fires, and two deadly crashes which killed 346 people, In this March 2024 airworthiness directive (AD) proposal, the FAA warned Boeing of an ‘electrostatic discharge,’ or static electricity risk, near the center-wing fuel tanks. ‘The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in an ignition source inside the fuel tank,’ the FAA said, ‘and subsequent fire or explosion.’
