Two manufacturing issues compromised an area of the structure in the rear of the Boeing 787 that is unable to withstand the maximum stress that would be experienced by the aircraft in service and could fail.
The COVID-19 pandemic has made strange bedfellows out of Delta Air Lines and Qatar Airways, who are on the same side to save bankrupt LATAM. Virgin Galactic's Mach 3 concept for a supersonic airliner is more than a little squishy. The FAA has started the clock on public comments for the 737 Max return to service and other goings on for the grounded airliner.
Boeing has a 30-year vision for North Charleston. Consolidating the 787 Dreamliner program to South Carolina was never an if, but rather a when.
You can only blame so much on a pandemic. Like a pre-existing condition that can make a case of COVID-19 deadly versus asymptomatic, the business model governing engine makers and their relationship to aircraft manufacturers made them exceptionally vulnerable. The collapse of global commercial aviation merely revealed the fundamental weakness baked into the relationship.
There was supposed to be an air show in Farnborough this week. And even if there was, Americans wouldn't be able to attend. Our Travel Sentiment model is reliably predicting the ups, downs and stagnation of the U.S. air traffic recovery. Here's an update. British Airways decommissions its 747 fleet, another in a series of the long goodbye to the Queen of the Skies. It's hard out there for big airplanes.

With FAA recertification flights underway, Boeing's last leg to service re-entry for the 737 Max has begun. Comac makes a triple ARJ21 delivery, signaling an important new phase for the China's aerospace manufacturing proving ground. Airbus autonomous airliner flights trials wrap up and illustrate the different paths toward letting and aircraft make their own decisions.

Major leadership changes at GE, Embraer and Mitsubishi. What if the 777X freighter is too small? And what of an A380 combi? COVID-19 will wipe out 20 cents of every dollar earned by airlines for the last half century.
