Boeing's 787 Crash: A Shadow Over Paris Air Show and a History of Problems

The crash of an Air India 787-8, a 14-year-old aircraft, casts a long shadow over Boeing just days before the Paris Air Show. The accident, resulting in significant casualties, has forced Boeing to cancel planned events. This tragedy reignites concerns about the 787's safety and highlights Boeing's long history of systemic issues. From the 737 MAX to the 777X, 747-8, and KC-46A, the company has faced serious design, production, and quality problems, leading to billions in losses and delays. While the investigation is ongoing, the incident threatens to significantly impact Boeing's recovery.
