According to CCTV News on January 16, 2024, citing local time from the Associated Press on January 15, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the United States stated that a Boeing 777 aircraft owned by All Nippon Airways of Japan collided with a Boeing 717 aircraft owned by Delta Airlines of the United States during takeoff taxiing at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago on the evening of the 14th.
The report stated that there were no reports of casualties in the accident, and the Federal Aviation Administration of the United States will investigate the accident. It is currently unclear whether the accident is related to manufacturing defects in Boeing aircraft. Previously, American aircraft manufacturer Boeing was grounded and subjected to strict scrutiny for some aircraft models due to a series of accidents.
According to public information, the Boeing 777 is a long-range twin engine wide body passenger aircraft manufactured by Boeing in the United States. It is currently the world's largest twin engine wide body passenger aircraft, with a passenger capacity of 283 to 368 people and a range of 5235 to 9450 nautical miles (9695 to 17500 kilometers). The Boeing 777 adopts a circular fuselage design and is a twin engine medium to long range wide body passenger aircraft developed by Boeing in the United States. The Boeing 777 was the largest twin engine jet aircraft in civil aviation history during its maiden flight. The Boeing 777 is designed to compete with aircraft models including the Airbus A330, A340, and A350.
The Boeing 717 is the smallest twin engine jet passenger aircraft of Boeing, originally named MD-95, designed for the market with a seating range of 100 people. 717 is the third-generation successor model of Douglas DC-9. In 1995, Boeing 717 received its first order and made its first flight on September 2, 1998. On September 1, 1999, both the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Joint European Aviation Administration (JAA) issued model licenses for the Boeing 717. It was officially put into operation in September 1999. The Boeing 717 aircraft is finally assembled at Boeing's Long Beach division (formerly the McDonnell Douglas factory). Boeing 717 ceased production in May 2006. The last Boeing 717 aircraft was produced in 2006, ending the long history of McDonnell Douglas's Long Beach factory producing passenger planes. The production quantity of Boeing 717 is 156 aircraft.
It is worth mentioning that in early January, the safety hatch of a Boeing aircraft fell off during flight.
On the 12th local time, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the United States announced that it will require Boeing 737 Max 9 aircraft to continue grounded. On the 5th of this month, a Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft operated by Alaska Airlines had its cabin door detached during flight, resulting in an emergency landing. The Federal Aviation Administration of the United States subsequently ordered the grounding and inspection of 171 Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft worldwide.
According to Xinhua News Agency on January 14th, the Federal Aviation Administration stated in a statement that the continued grounding of 171 Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft is for passenger safety reasons. Federal Aviation Administration Director Mike Whittaker said on the 12th, "Until we are fully satisfied with the safety of the aircraft, the Boeing 737 MAX 9 will not return to the sky." Whittaker told Reuters on the same day that he believed the issue with the Boeing 737 MAX 9 was a manufacturing problem rather than a design problem. In addition, the National Transportation Safety Board of the United States is also investigating the Alaska Airlines embedded emergency door detachment accident.
The Boeing 737 series aircraft is a classic narrow body passenger aircraft of Boeing. Since its maiden flight in 1967, it has produced over 10000 aircraft, making it one of the best-selling passenger planes in the world. This includes the 737-700 series, 737-800 series, as well as 737-7737-8737-9 and 737-10. It has won the favor of global airlines due to its excellent performance, reliable operation and maintenance, and wide application areas.
Throughout the entire Boeing 737 series, from the delivery of the first prototype in 1967 to the launch of the 737MAX, over a period of more than 50 years, the Boeing 737 series has developed 14 models.
