Boeing has received more than six times as many tip-offs from employees versus a year ago following an increased focus on production quality after a door plug dislodged into the sky on a Boeing flight out of Portland, Oregon.

In January a nearly brand new Boeing 737-9 Max operated by Alaska Airlines lost a door plug while climbing after leaving the airport in the north-western state. A high school teacher west of the airport found the...

Aircraft maker Boeing has denied fresh allegations about production faults affecting the quality of its aeroplanes. On Tuesday, the company rejected criticism from a former employee that some 787 Dreamliner aircraft could have a shortened service life because the company had taken technical "shortcuts" to speed up production.

US aircraft manufacturer Boeing is falling further and further behind European market leader Airbus in the face of its crisis. In March, the European manufacturer delivered 63 commercial aircraft, more than twice as many as its US rival, according to press releases issued by both companies on Tuesday. Airbus boss Guillaume Faury still has a long way to go to reach his target of 800 aircraft deliveries this year after only 142 were delivered in the first three months of the year. Boeing, however, is struggling with completely different problems following the near-accident on a 737 Max medium-ha...

US aircraft maker Boeing paid Alaska Airlines some $160 million in compensation after an incident involving a torn-out fuselage section on a Boeing 737-9 MAX aircraft in January which led to the grounding of the model.

The mid-air blow-out left a gaping hole in the plane and forced an emergency landing. None of the more than 170 people on board were injured. As a result, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grounded the MAX 9 aircraft featur...
