In a recent announcement by Emirates president Sir Tim Clark, the airline revealed its plan to send engineers to monitor Boeing's production lines for the first time.
This decision comes after a concerning incident last month involving a Boeing 737-9 plane during Alaska Airlines Flight 1282, where a door plug blew out midflight. This incident raised questions about Boeing's quality control, prompting Emirates to take action. Clark expressed his worries about a "progressive decline" in Boeing's performance to the Financial Times.
In November, Emirates placed an order for 95 wide-body Boeing 777 and 787 jets, valued at US$52 billion (€48.3 billion) at list prices. The engineers from Emirates will closely oversee the production process of the 777 at Boeing's facilities and its supplier, Spirit AeroSystems.
