On Tuesday, June 25, Korean Air announced that it was looking into a pressurisation issue that forced one of its Boeing 737-8 aircraft to divert on Saturday, necessitating medical attention for 17 passengers.
Due to a pressurisation system malfunction, the Taiwan-bound airliner was forced to return to Incheon approximately 50 minutes after takeoff on Saturday. This was the most recent incident involving Boeing aircraft, a Korean Air representative told AFP.
According to a statement from the airline, seventeen of the 125 passengers on board received medical attention and were released without suffering any significant injuries.
“We are working closely with all pertinent authorities to look into the incident’s circumstances… It said, “We apologise to everyone who was impacted by this situation.
The incident on Saturday happened after Boeing began having numerous production and quality control issues with its commercial aircraft in early 2023.
This includes an incident that happened in January when an Alaska Airlines 737 MAX was forced to make an emergency landing due to a fuselage panel blowing out in mid-air.
Its CEO, Dave Calhoun, appeared before a US Senate panel last week as a result of a number of instances.
The Aviation Gallery is one of the three main galleries for educational exhibits. The Foundation stated that Korean Air will donate $25 million to name the gallery the Korean Air Aviation Gallery. The ship will also give a retired Boeing 747, which will serve as the gallery’s focal point and house a Wright Brothers’ 1902 Glider model, a Harrier T4 jump-jet, and a vintage F-100 Super Sabre.
According to a statement from the California Science Centre Foundation, the Korean Air Aviation Gallery will show how the quest to dominate the sky entails tradeoffs among the four elements of flight: lift, thrust, drag, and weight. These considerations have an impact on every aircraft that has ever been designed.
