United Airlines has experienced its fifth safety incident in a week, including a United Boeing 777 being forced to land after a fuel leak during takeoff. This incident marks the fifth safety issue for the airline in a week, a period that also witnessed the suicide of a whistleblower. In response to these and other issues, United Airlines has requested Boeing to cease production of its delayed 737 Max 10 jets, opting instead for a smaller variant and the rival Airbus SE A321. Additionally, American Airlines also faced a mechanical emergency when a Boeing 777 with 249 passengers on board had to make an emergency landing at LAX due to a blown tire during takeoff from Dallas. The FAA is investigating this incident, which follows closely on the heels of a United 777 experiencing a similar tire issue en route to Japan. Amid these challenges, United Airlines is reportedly close to securing at least 36 Airbus A321neo jets, aiming to replace the Boeing 737 Max 10 orders that are at least five years behind schedule.
