The United States Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, was quickly stranded in Zurich, Switzerland, due to a major electrical problem with his Boeing 737 aircraft. He was forced to choose a different, smaller aviation for his return trip to the US.
Following his speech at the World Economic Forum ( WEF ) in Davos, the US diplomatic chief was returning to Washington when the incident involving Secretary Blinken’s 737 happened. Blinken and other people were told to evacuate from the modified 737 at Zurich Airport from Davos due to safety concerns regarding their plane, according to the traveling hit pool that was with the minister.
A” important failure” involving an oxygen leak that could not be immediately fixed was attributed to the breakdown. According to reports, Brussels sent a smaller planes to Zurich so that Blinken could return to Washington. His traveling party’s assistants and reporters were among those who were compelled to board commercial aircraft.
The breakdown was brought on by an oxygen leak that was considered a” critical failure” and could n’t be quickly fixed. A smaller aeroplane was sent from Brussels to Zurich to transport Blinken back to Washington. As a result, some crew people, including aides and reporters, who were traveling with the US Secretary of State, had to take commercial flights.
After the US Federal Aviation Administration ( FAA ) ordered the suspension of all Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft for safety inspections, top US diplomats experienced travel delays in less than 14 days. This grounding was mandated by the national regulator following a flight accident on an Alaska Airlines journey with 171 passengers on board, in which several passengers were hurt when the door connect blew off at an altitude of 16, 000 feet. The plane was forced to make a quick docking in Portland, Oregon, so it had to return there.
According to reports, Blinken’s Boeing aircraft was produced before the MAX 9 type and is an earlier iteration of the 737 line.
According to fatal injuries in Ethiopia and Indonesia that claimed the lives of 346 people, aviation regulators around the world outlawed the 737 MAX, Boeing’s well-known business passenger aircraft, in March 2019. About two years later, the planes were given the go-ahead to continue flying after making the necessary adjustments to their flight control systems.
The 737 MAX’s pilots were asked to check their plane for possible problems with the rudder control system after receiving a new safety advisory from Boeing. Boeing’s stock value consequently decreased by about 19 %, resulting in a loss of nearly$ 30 billion in market capitalization following the Alaska Airlines incident.
