NEW YORK – Boeing has suspended flight testing of its new 777X wide-body jet after identifying the failure of a part connecting the engine to the body of the aircraft, the latest in a long line of quality control issues for the troubled US aerospace giant.
Boeing has been beset in recent years with concerns about safety and quality control, with a near-catastrophic incident on an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX in January bringing renewed pressure on the company. The new twin-aisle aircraft is destined to be the world’s largest twin-engine jet in operation. More than 500 777X aircraft have already been ordered, but have yet to enter commercial service.
Although the 777X has still not received the go-ahead from the US Federal Aviation Administration , Boeing did cross an important milestone in July this year.
