Boeing 737 MAX Gets New Orders

Image
Boeing easily beat rival Airbus in orders for new planes last month, but Chicago-based Boeing trailed its European rival in delivering planes to airline customers. Boeing said that it took orders for 31 planes in July while 17 others were canceled, resulting in a net gain of 14. That compared with two orders for Airbus. It was Boeing’s sixth straight month of positive net orders after seeing cancellations exceed orders for most of 2020. Boeing has reported 270 net orders so far in 2021. Brazil’s Gol ordered nine 737 Max jets last month and Dallas-based Southwest Airlines ordered six. Boeing delivered 28 planes in July, including nine 737 Max jets sent to Irish airline Ryanair. That fell short of Airbus, which delivered 47 planes last month. For the year, Boeing has delivered 184 planes, more than all of 2020.

Damage Seen From Window
Turkish Airlines Airbus A320-232 with registration TC-JPE flight TK-1878 from Milan Malpensa in Italy to Istanbul, Turkey had to make an emergency landing after a failed approach on Istanbul Ataturk Airport's runway 05 at 10:22L (07:22Z) Apr-25-2015.

The flight was carrying 97 passengers and just before touchdown the Airbus A320 rolled right causing the right wing along with the engine to come in contact with the runway.

The crew initiated a go-around and then declared an emergency due to the right engine being inoperative.

The crew subsequently reported an unsafe gear indication after a hard touch down.

The Airbus still being able to fly the crew made a go-around and positioned themselves for an emergency landing on runway 35L. They touched down about 20 minutes after the accident, but with the damage seen to the right wing and right main gear collapsed the aircraft skidded on its right engine, with sparks and smoke trailing the engine.

The Airbus veered right off the runway spinning nearly 180 degrees. The aircraft was evacuated via slides while emergency services started to spray the aircraft. There were no injuries, the aircraft received substantial damage to the right hand main gear, right hand engine and its pylon as well as to leading and trailing edge high lift devices at the right hand wing.

Hats off to the crew for taking her down in that condition without any injuries to the passengers.
