Source: Boeing Plane Forced to Abort Takeoff – Newsweek
ABoeing plane aborted takeoff at Australia’s Melbourne Airport on Sunday for “technical reasons,” according to Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Boeing has been under pressure over the past year after its planes were involved in a series of quality control incidents that have made headlines around the world—most notably the mid-air blowout of a door plug on an Alaska Airlines flight in January 2024.
The New York Times reported in 2019 that the Boeing 787 Dreamliner factory in South Carolina “has been plagued by shoddy production and weak oversight that have threatened to compromise safety.”
Following the aborted takeoff, over 270 passengers had to disembark the Etihad flight set for Abu Dhabi’s Zayed International Airport.
“The flight crew decided to halt the take-off for technical reasons, the aircraft was safely brought to a stop on the runway and emergency services attended as a precaution,” Etihad Airways told The National, a UAE state-owned newspaper.
