Originally Published 1 year ago — by The New York Times
United Airlines has experienced eight incidents in the past two weeks, including engine fires, lost tires, and planes veering off runways, prompting concerns about aviation safety. While no injuries were reported, the incidents have raised anxiety among federal officials and passengers. United's chief executive emphasized that the incidents were unrelated and not indicative of systemic problems, but safety experts stress that such issues, while occasional, are not acceptable. The incidents involved aircraft from both Boeing and Airbus, and the airline is reviewing each case to enhance safety training and procedures.
