Another accident occurred with Boeing’s aircraft, which was in trouble after an accident occurred in which the door of an aircraft was torn off in flight.
An accident occurred in which the front wheel of a Boeing 757 aircraft that was moving on the runway fell off and went off the runway, raising further concerns about the safety of Boeing aircraft.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced on the 23rd (local time) that it is investigating an incident in which a Boeing 757 operated by Delta Air Lines lost a front wheel while traveling from Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport to Bogotá, Colombia on the 20th. revealed.
According to a report released by the FAA, the front wheel rolled into a nearby hill, and there were no injuries among the 184 passengers and 6 crew members.
“The passengers were transported by bus to the terminal after the plane stopped,” the FAA said in a statement.
Delta Air Lines said, “The passenger used a replacement aircraft,” and “The aircraft where the accident occurred resumed operations the very next day.”
The Washington Post reported that the aircraft in which the accident occurred this time was a Boeing 757, which is different from the Boeing 737 Max 9 that previously had an accident on Alaska Airlines.
Previously, on the 5th, an accident occurred where the ‘door plug’ (emergency exit cover) was torn off from the side of the fuselage of Alaska Airlines Flight 1282, which took off from Portland International Airport in Oregon, USA, carrying 171 passengers and 6 crew members.
This accident is attracting attention because it occurred while a large-scale investigation was being conducted into Boeing aircraft. On the 21st, the FAA urged airlines to inspect the door plugs of the Boeing 737 Max 9.
Alaska Airlines CEO Ben Minicucci said in an interview with NBC that day that the company had discovered loose bolts in a number of Boeing 737 Max 9 door plugs.
CEO Minicucci said, “I am beyond frustrated and disappointed, I am angry,” and criticized, “This has happened to the customers and employees of Alaska Airlines.”
United Airlines also announced that it had discovered several similar defects in its Boeing 737 Max 9 aircraft.
