Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner crashed shortly after Thursday’s take off. Thick plums of black smoke seen above the airport in a video made by observers. 242 passengers and crew members were aboard the flight at London Airport in Gatwick. The plane crashed into housing students, according to local media. The consequences of the scene showed smoke, rising above the area and firefighters on charred streets. Air India confirmed that the flight was involved in an incident after a take -off in an X. Prime Minister Narendra Modi called the tragedy heartbreaking beyond words. In a statement on Thursday, Boeing said he was in contact with Air India about flight 171 and was ready to support them. Our thoughts are with passengers, crew, the first reacting and all those affected. Boeing’s safety faces control after two fatal crashes from its 737 max aircraft in 2018 and 2019, which led to over 340 deaths. FAA ordered a Boeing 787 Dreamliner check in 2024 after a diving in the middle of Lamam in March wounds over 50 passengers. Last year, a whistle also called on Boeing to ground all 787 Dreamliners around the world, claiming that there were disadvantages in the aircraft assembly. Boeing rejected the former engineer’s claims and said he was fully confident on the plane. By joining me now, we have Mike Boyd, International President of Boyd Group. Mike, thank you for taking a while and jumping with us this morning. After a tragedy like this, do passengers have to worry about flying Boeing planes? But more substantially, as we look at some of the large industries of an airplane they are doing, some of the negligence they are known and the changes they make is fast enough?

At that moment, this is really connected at this point. You know, there are no indications, you know that what plays and II seemed very strong to this and what happened today, there are no indications. These planes, 10, 11 years old, well, he flies around. So the real problem is, should some people feel safe about flying? The answer is absolutely yes. And we will find out more about this in a few days, because between NTSB and the US, which will be on stage, and the Indian -ends, we will have a pretty good idea of what really happened to this specific aircraft.

We also know this year, 75 to 80 deliveries are designed by this 787 Dreamliner against 51 in 2024. Exactly how different is Boeing today against some of the problems they faced in 2018, 2019?
04:46 Mike Boyd
Well, in 2018, 2019, let’s put it online. They were incompetently managed airline manufacturer. They didn’t know what they were doing. They watched the price of the shares. The fact on the subject today, they are much more rational manufacturer of air planes. Plus, the FAA is on stage all the time. Now keep in mind that the FAA has been involved in bad supervision before, but at the moment Boeing is happening a lot more to make sure they do things right because they don’t do so in 2019.

There are many more details that we are waiting for to come from the crash in India. It is also international, comes at a time when many of the airline operators, as well as manufacturers such as Boeing, are preparing to focus on this international air exposure as well as in Paris. How does this may change some of the conversations that take place, if at all?
06:27 Mike Boyd
Well, it depends on what they planned to do. If they did the AA Giant, you know, Corkscrew Flyby on 787, I think this is currently canceled for this air show. But I think the bottom line of it is the main show and telling book books. So I don’t think it will have a great effect at all and Boeing has experienced such things before. You just don’t keep picking it up and lifting it. So I think Boeing’s sales will have no effect unless we understand something catastrophic and I don’t think we’ll do it.
07:13 Spokesman a
What are some of the first questions you imagine that the regulators and those who investigate will have to reveal and hope that the public will receive some more answers?
07:28 Mike Boyd
Well, I think in this case I want to say that they are reported that the crew called May, saying we lost strength. And it looked like, you know, from the videos it’s like an outspoken camera everywhere. It’s kind of like this went into the neighborhood. So they will look at things like fuel, they will look at things like pilot records, watch maintenance records. I say it will be, I will guarantee you that they are doing it right now.

Mike, thank you very much for watching this story and you joined us this morning and in a short time.
