Boeing

State Supreme Court justices will have to decide whether the Southwest Airlines Pilots Association can sue Boeing for lost wages or whether their claims are preempted by federal labor law.

Twelve people have been taken to hospitals after an American Airlines passenger plane landed at Denver International Airport and caught fire. The FAA says Flight 1006 was headed from Colorado Springs to Dallas Forth Worth on Thursday.

Pilots say they were left in the dark about Boeing's defective 737 MAX, which their union's collective bargaining agreement required them to fly.

A federal judge has rejected a deal that would have allowed Boeing to plead guilty to a felony conspiracy charge and pay a fine for misleading U.S. regulators about the 737 Max jetliner before two of the planes crashed, killing 346 people.

Boeing is ready to plead guilty to a single felony count of conspiracy to commit fraud in connection with winning regulatory approval of the airplane. But passengers' relatives say the punishment is too light. And they're angry that no Boeing officials are facing criminal charges.

Boeing has violated the terms of a deal to avoid prosecution after the fatal crashes of two 737 Max planes more than five years ago, the Department of Justice told a federal judge on Tuesday.

The Federal Aviation Administration says a Southwest Airlines jet leaving Denver was forced to land after the engine cover fell off and struck the wing flap during takeoff. Southwest Airlines says the Boeing 737 landed safely Sunday and the passengers headed to Houston are being put onto another aircraft.

In January, a door plug flew off a Boeing 737 Max 9 plane during a flight, leaving a hole in the fuselage, some of which are produced by Spirit AeroSystems Holdings Inc.

A Boeing pilot involved in testing the 737 Max jetliner was indicted Thursday by a federal grand jury on charges of deceiving safety regulators who were evaluating the plane, which was later involved in two deadly crashes.

After a devastating pandemic limited travel for more than a year, United is optimistic about the future and plans to spend billions of dollars upgrading and expanding its fleet.

The issue temporarily took more than 100 newly built 737 Max planes out of service last month, but is unrelated to the flight control system problem blamed for two fatal crashes.
