The recent incident on Delta Flight 982, where a nose gear tire came loose from the landing gear, prompted the pilot to alert air traffic control.
Fortunately, the plane hadn’t taken off, allowing passengers to disembark safely.
Delta addressed the issue, stating that all customers were transferred to a replacement aircraft.
Despite the incident, the plane was deemed safe to return to service within 24 hours after inspection.
In a separate matter, Boeing faces an FAA investigation following an Alaska Airlines flight’s door and window panel incident, causing a PR crisis and a drop in Boeing shares.
The FAA is cautious about approving new Boeing products until quality control concerns are resolved.
