Air India tragedy comes after firm agreed US justice department payment to avoid prosecution over 2018 and 2019 crashes

The Air India tragedy in Ahmedabad is the first time a Boeing 787 Dreamliner has crashed since the plane’s introduction in 2011.

While airlines using the Boeing plane have had widespread problems with engines on the 787 – resulting in many having to ground planes and reduce flights – its safety record in service has so far been good.

However, the US safety regulator, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), has had to investigate several concerns over the years, including a mid-air dive on a Latam flight last year.

    I’ll never fly with a Boeing plane again. What a fucking shit company, with shit attitude and values so poor even satan would despise them. It’s the perfect example of what’s wrong with capitalism.
